Until very recently, I was a graduate student at the University of Rochester, Department of Political Science. I specialize in political methodology, with an interest in applied Bayesian statistics, ideal point estimation and the application of generalized linear models in political science. My substantive field is comparative politics, and I focus primarily on the United Kingdom.

In May 2007, I won the John T Williams Prize given by the Society for Political Methodology for the best dissertation proposal in the area of political methodology.

In March 2008, I defended my doctoral dissertation. My graduation was in May 2008.

In July 2008, I will be joining Harvard University as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Government.
