I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of Political Science at The George Washington University in Washington, DC. I was previously an Assistant Professor at Stony Brook University. My research and teaching interests center on American politics, judicial politics, and political methodology. In particular, I examine judicial decision making, the Supreme Court, inter-branch interactions, judicial appointment politics; public opinion, political behavior, and institutional evaluation; and legislative politics. I also have interests in various topics related to political methodology. My work is forthcoming or has appeared in American Political Science Review, Journal of Politics, Public Opinion Quarterly, and other outlets.

I teach undergraduate and graduate courses in judicial politics, methodology, and constitutional law, and graduate courses in judicial politics and political methodology.
