I am a postdoctoral fellow in the Brian Lamb School of Communication and the Center for American Political History, Media, and Technology at Purdue University. I have also previously held postdoctoral fellowships at University of Michigan and University of Pennsylvania. I received my Ph.D. in Communication from the University of Michigan in 2023.
I study political communication, political psychology, and public opinion, focusing on how people encounter, process, and act on news and political information in their daily lives. In my work, I explore how media and communication relate to polarization, democracy, political learning, and social identity. My other research examines survey measurement and psychophysiology. My work has been published in Political Communication, Communication Theory, International Journal of Public Opinion Research, Journal of Science Communication, and Politics and the Life Sciences.
