Biography
I study topics in stratification and inequality. I strive to produce substantive findings that are conceptually precise and which rely on credible assumptions. These principles often lead me to computational and machine learning methods and the development of new approaches. I am a faculty organizer of the Inequality Data Science Lab and an affiliate of the California Center for Population Research. I received my PhD in sociology and social policy at Princeton University in 2021 and was a postdoctoral scholar in the Department of Sociology and California Center for Population Research at UCLA in 2021-2022. After two years in the Department of Information Science at Cornell University, I returned to the UCLA Department of Sociology in 2024.
