About Me
Hello
I’m a computational social scientist who studies the media information ecosystem.
I’m currently a postdoctoral researcher at Northwestern University in the Kellogg School of Management. I received my PhD in Computer and Information Science from the University of Pennsylvania where I worked with Duncan J. Watts and Chris Callison-Burch.
Here is my CV.
Research
My research focuses on using computational approaches to study news production systematically and at scale. I combine large language models with large-scale datasets to analyze what topics and events news outlets choose to cover, how they frame their coverage through partisan slant and tone, and whose voices they amplify through their choices of whom to quote. Across my work, I aim not only to produce academic research, but also to build public-facing tools, datasets, and resources that make these findings accessible and useful beyond the research community.
Community
Service and community building are an important part of my academic work, particularly through training and mentorship in computational social science. I served as a core organizer of the Summer Institute in Computational Social Science (SICSS) at the University of Pennsylvania for three years, where I helped bring together early-career researchers from diverse disciplinary backgrounds for intensive training in computational methods. I have also contributed to the organization of major conferences in computational social science and natural language processing. In 2024, I served as Tutorial Chair for IC2S2, and in 2025, I co-chaired the Student Research Workshop at NAACL. I also regularly contribute as a peer reviewer and received an Outstanding Reviewer Award at EMNLP 2023.
