I am the Maxwell Dean Assistant Professor of the Politics of AI in the Political Science Department at the Maxwell School of Citizenship and Public Affairs, Syracuse University. I am also a Schmidt Futures AI2050 Early Career Fellow and a research affiliate with the Centre for the Governance of AI.
My current research focuses on trust in digital technology and the governance of artificial intelligence (AI). I study (1) public and elite opinion toward AI and (2) how the American welfare state could adapt to the increasing automation of labor. My previous research covered a wide range of topics, including the politics of the U.S. welfare state, attitudes towards climate change, and survey methodology.
I graduated with a PhD in political science (2020) and an MA in statistics (2015) from Yale University. In 2020-2021, I worked as a Klarman Postdoctoral Fellow in the Cornell Society of Fellows. In 2019-2020, I worked as a postdoctoral fellow in MIT’s Political Science Department and a fellow at the Berkman Klein Center for Internet and Society at Harvard University. In 2021-2023, I was a CIFAR Azrieli Global Scholar in the Innovation, Equity & The Future of Prosperity Program.
