I am a postdoctoral researcher at the Data Science Institute at Columbia University and a non-resident fellow at ISPS, Yale University.

My research deals with the politics of new technologies. I study public attitudes and preferences regarding the use of Artificial Intelligence in public policy. I use experimental methods to study questions such as when and under what conditions citizens are willing to accept the use of algorithmic systems in shaping high-stakes decisions (e.g., on policing, welfare, education), and how people’s views on this matter change following exposure to information or by gaining personal experience interacting with these systems.

My broad research interests include political behavior, survey design, and experimental methods.
