I am the Maxwell Dean Associate Professor of the Politics of AI in the Political Science Department at the Maxwell School of Citizenship and Public Affairs, Syracuse University. I am a research affiliate with the Centre for the Governance of AI.
My current research, funded by the National Science Foundation, 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 workers, employers, and governments 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. During my time as an assistant professor, I was a CIFAR Azrieli Global Scholar in the Innovation, Equity & The Future of Prosperity Program and a Schmidt Futures AI2050 Early Career Fellow.
