Welcome! I'm a Postdoctoral Associate at Yale University (Identity & Conflict Lab, The MacMillan Center for International and Area Studies). I received my Ph.D. in Politics from New York University in 2024.
My research interests lie in political behavior, experimental methods, and Indian politics. Broadly, I examine how group identities shape individuals’ reactions to information about contentious political issues. In particular, I study ethnic identity (focusing on interethnic relations and ethnic nationalism) and partisan identity (focusing on ideological and partisan motivations in countries with traditionally weak party ties). I also have an active research agenda geared towards understanding the role of WhatsApp in the politics of developing countries. My work is forthcoming in Political Behavior and has received accolades from multiple APSA sections and MPSA.
