I am an Assistant Professor (tenure track) at the Marxe School of Public and International Affairs, Baruch College, City University of New York (CUNY). My research develops advanced statistical methods for causal inference — tools for drawing credible conclusions about cause and effect from experimental and observational data — with applications to racial discrimination, policing, gun policy, and voter behavior. I am an author and the maintainer of open-source statistical software, including apm, the R package that accompanies my article on averaged prediction models for causal inference in controlled pre-post settings. I also serve as an Evaluation and Evidence Consulting Fellow with the Arnold Ventures Criminal Justice Evaluation Network.

Before joining Baruch, I was a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at Harvard University (2021–2023), and I earned my Ph.D. in Political Science from Columbia University, specializing in methodology and comparative politics. My work appears in The Annals of Applied Statistics, International Statistical Review, the Journal of Causal Inference, Observational Studies, Political Analysis, and Political Science Research and Methods. My research page collects my published and working papers, and my curriculum vitae provides a complete record of my research, teaching, and service.

In addition to my regular teaching at the Marxe School, I have taught a causal inference course at the Inter-university Consortium for Political and Social Research (ICPSR) summer program since 2018. I also teach courses in the political science Ph.D. methods sequences at the CUNY Graduate Center and Columbia University, and I have taught a course on African politics at the City College of New York. My teaching page lists my courses, and my methods guides collect additional pedagogical materials.

Before starting my Ph.D., I received an M.A. from the University of Chicago and a B.A. from DePauw University. I also lived for two years in Uganda, where I served as a research assistant at Makerere University. I currently live in the Bronx, but was born and raised in Brooklyn, New York.
