Welcome!

I am a Lecturer at the Data Analytics and Computational Social Science (DACSS) program within the School of Public Policy at the University of Massachusetts Amherst. With a Ph.D. in Political Science and Social Data Analytics from the Pennsylvania State University, my expertise lies in computational social science research and teaching.

My research focuses on the study of political elites using network theory, social media, and digital trace data.

I have taught statistics, scientific computing, machine learning, and network analysis to students from diverse academic backgrounds and at various levels of expertise.

I am a free, open software and knowledge enthusiast and love to share what I know with others. To learn more about me, please visit my Research, Teaching, and CV pages.
