RESEARCH
My research and teaching interests lie in social and political psychology and research methods. Specifically, I am interested in how socialization and individual differences shape people's belief systems, and relatedly how characteristics of people's belief systems affect their individual attitudes (e.g., moral conviction).
I also enjoy learning about computational social science. I am particularly interested in improving casual interferences in psychology, and in machine learning methods (e.g., random forests, tree-boosting, casual forests).
