Welcome to my website

I am an Assistant Professor of Political Science in the Division of the Humanities and Social Sciences at the California Institute of Technology. Previously, I was a Post-Doctoral Associate in the Cowles Foundation for Research in Economics at Yale University. I hold a Ph.D. in Politics from Princeton University where I was part of the Research Program in Political Economy and received the Charlotte Elizabeth Procter Fellowship.
My research analyzes collective decision-making in committees and elections using different quantitative methods, such as structural estimation, causal inference, and text analysis. I study the effects of sequential decision-making at the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) and the U.S. Supreme Court. My research also focuses on electoral competition and voting behavior in the U.S., Mexico and the Philippines.
