Thank you for your visit! I am a Postdoctoral Scholar at Stanford University’s Politics and Social Change Lab and Computer Science Department. I received my Ph.D. in Political Science from the European University Institute (EUI) in 2023. I will start as an Assistant Professor in Political Science and Quantitative Social Science Methods at Sciences Po in Paris in January 2026.
My research agenda is organized around two core themes. First, I study the politics and societies of advanced democracies, focusing on the origins of contemporary political divisions and how democracy be strengthened by re-engaging voters and bridging political divides. I am exploring these topics leveraging quantitative scientific methods that employ an experimental logic, specifically (field and survey) experiments, and methods of causal inference. The second part of my research agenda focuses on studying the use of large language models in social-scientific research methods. I am particularly interested in the use of LLMs to simulate experimental effects and human behavior. My research has been published at PNAS, the American Political Science Review, and the Journal of Politics, among other outlets.
