I am a first-year PhD candidate at LSE Government, supervised by Florian Foos and Mathias Poertner.
I am interested in how campaigns shape political behaviour. My PhD thesis examines the development and implications of relational campaigning: a set of network-based strategies where campaigns attempt to utilise their supporters’ social connections to reach voters.
Beyond my PhD research, I am interested in persuasion and mobilisation more broadly, as well as how developments in political technology and data science have changed campaigning.
I study these topics using experimental and applied data science methods. In particular, I work collaboratively with campaigns to run field experiments.
Alongside my PhD, I am the Research Advisor to Campaign Lab - a not-for-profit company which develops technological tools and conducts research with campaigns.
