I am a PhD Candidate and Presidential Fellow in the Department of Sociology at The Ohio State University. I am also affiliated with the Mershon Center for International Security Studies and the Translational Data Analytics Institute. My research sits at the intersection of politics, culture, and group dynamics, with a particular focus on public discourse, political mobilization, and conflict. Methodologically, I am especially interested in mixed-methods designs that bridge macro-level patterns with underlying processes.

An interdisciplinarian at heart, my work has appeared across sociological, criminological, and political science-oriented journals. These include Social Problems, Journal of Criminal Justice, and Politics, Groups & Identities. I also write for public audiences, with contributions to the Global Network on Extremism and Technology's Insight Series, the Center for Research on Extremism's Right Now!, and the European Consortium for Political Research's The Loop, among others.

For examples of ongoing projects, data, and replication code, please see my Projects page and GitHub. Alternatively, check out some of my recent appearances in broadcast and other media, alongside coverage of my work. I also make music, some of which you can find here, alongside a music video.
