About

I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of Communication Science at the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam and a Faculty Associate in the Center for Social Media and Politics at New York University. I received my PhD in Political Science from the University of Washington . Before joining VU Amsterdam, I was a Moore Sloan research fellow in the Center for Data Science and Center for Social Media and Politics at the New York University; and a research fellow at the Amsterdam School of Communication Research. I am a computational political scientist working on political communication, public policy, legislative politics, and computational methods. The substantive goal of my research is to build a better understanding of the policymaking process, broadly speaking, in the current digital society. My research in political communication and public policy looks at how social media has shaped collective action dynamics; how social movements, interest groups, political parties, as well as the public, use public communications to influence the political agenda; the role of (social) media in increasing/ameliorating polarization; and the regulation of political speech by social media companies. My research on legislative politics looks at the conditions under which individual legislators and legislative groups influence policy through less prominent (e.g. amendments) and more informal (e.g. bundling legislation) mechanisms. In addition, in all my research I develop and/or apply novel computation methods (text-as-data and images-as-data) that allow me to unlock important (classic and new) research questions that I would not be able to address otherwise.
