I am an Assistant
Professor of Political Science at Stony Brook University. I received my Ph.D.
in political science from Ohio
State University
in June 2006. My research and teaching interests center on American politics,
judicial politics, and political methodology. The subjects of my research
include: (1) judicial decision making, the Supreme Court, inter-branch
interactions; (2) public opinion, political psychology, institutional
evaluation; and (3) legislative politics, congressional organization and
behavior. In political methodology, I am particularly interested in multilevel
(hierarchical) modeling, event history (duration) modeling, models for panel
and time-series cross-sectional data, Bayesian data analysis, structural
equation modeling, experimental methodology, and survey questionnaire design.
See my “Research” page for more about my current research and research in
progress.
I teach
undergraduate courses in judicial politics, constitutional law, and methods, and
graduate courses in judicial politics and political methodology.
