Political Scientist & Data Scientist


Associate Professor at the Department of Political Science
The Ohio State University

I am an Associate Professor at the Department of Political Science, Ohio State University and a faculty affiliate of Center for Effective Lawmaking. I specialize in American Politics and Data Science. I hold a Ph.D. degree in Politics from NYU.

My research focuses on politicians’ legislative and communication styles they choose to perform under various institutional constraints in American politics context, and I further explore electoral consequences and policy implications resulting from their stylistic choices. For the research, I use text analysis, machine learning, causal inference models, multi-level modeling, formal modeling and experimental methods. My works were published at Proceedings of National Academy of Sciences, American Political Science Review, ​Journal of Politics, Legislative Studies Quarterly, Electoral Studies and Journal of Legislative Studies.

I have taught courses in American politics and Congress and and multiple quantitative methods at both graduate and undergraduate levels including causal inference, Maximum Likelihood Estimation, and regression analysis.
