I am a Postdoctoral Researcher at the Center for the Study of Democratic Politics at Princeton University, affiliated with the Lab on Politics, Race & Experimental Methods. I am also a Postdoctoral Research Affiliate at the Identity & Conflict Lab at Yale University. During my doctoral studies, I worked as a Senior Researcher at Princeton University (2022–2025). I received my Ph.D. in Political Science from Rutgers University in 2025.

My research centers on understanding the role of group identities in shaping citizens’ political attitudes and behaviors in diverse and diversifying societies, drawing on political behavior, political psychology, and behavioral economics. I study when and how group identities, particularly those organized around race, ethnicity, and immigration, shape the boundaries of democratic inclusion, focusing on citizens’ commitments to democratic principles and practices, perceptions of democracy, political judgment and decision-making, and intergroup relations. My work primarily uses survey and experimental methods, along with quantitative text analysis, geospatial analysis, and qualitative research.

Prior to my Ph.D., I completed master’s degrees in Political Theory at the London School of Economics and in Philosophy at Middle East Technical University.
