Welcome!

Welcome to my webpage. I am a senior scientist with Fors Marsh Group. I also hold a courtesy affiliation with the Department of Political Science at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville.

I hold a PhD in Political Science from the University of North Texas. In my previous life, I was an Assistant Professor in the School of Public Affairs (Political Science) at the University of Arkansas at Little Rock, and the lead editor of the Journal of Elections, Public Opinion and Parties (JEPOP). Prior to arriving in Arkansas, I held positions as a postdoctoral researcher at the Mannheim Center for European Social Research (MZES) and the SFB884 - "The Political Economy of Reforms" at the University of Mannheim, as a Jean Monnet Fellow at the European University Institute in Florence, Italy, and as a postdoctoral researcher at Maastricht University.

Methodologically, I hold an expertise in various types of data collection and analysis, including panel data analysis, time series modeling, and survey methodology.

Substantively, I consider myself a behavioral scientist. My academic research concerned elections, public opinion, and political party behavior. These interests all go back to my overall desire to understand why people act in the seemingly strange ways they do.

Feel free to take a look around the website, keeping in mind, it is an artifact of my academic background.
