I am a Postdoctoral Research Associate in the Office of Population Research at Princeton University. In my research, I apply and develop quantitative and computational methods to study fundamental sociological questions in new ways and gain new insights across a variety of research fields. My current work examines how friendship, family, political, and climate dynamics influence individual life chances and aggregate patterns of inequality. I focus on how individuals’ selection into and interactions within these social and natural environments collectively shape emergent dynamics of social stratification. Methodologically, I specialize in modeling causal effects, relational dynamics, multilevel phenomena, and heterogeneity within and between groups. My work has been funded by the National Science Foundation and published in outlets, including the Annual Review of Sociology.

I received a PhD in Sociology and Computer Science (minor) from Cornell University in 2024 under the supervision of Michael Macy (Cornell Sociology and Information Science), Filiz Garip (Princeton Sociology), Felix Elwert (UW-Madison Sociology and Statistics), Eleonora Patacchini (Cornell Economics), and Lillian Lee (Cornell Computer Science).
