- How does an individual's social, religious, and geographic context relate to affective polarization (hostility towards people from different political parties)?
- How does our perception of the past impact our views of the present and future?
- How do we interact with technology and how does it affect us?
- How can we improve research methods and analyses?
I am a passionate teacher. I enjoy helping students to grow in their understanding of judgment and decision-making, social psychology, research methods, and data science.
I am open to collaborations with researchers in psychology and in other disciplines. Please reach out if you would like to discuss a potential collaboration!
