Methodology · Machine learning · Causal inference

I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of Methodology at the London School of Economics and Political Science, a Faculty Affiliate at the Centre for Technology and Society at the University of Oxford Martin AI Governance Initiative, and a Faculty Affiliate at the Data Science Institute at LSE.

My research develops machine learning and deep learning methods for causal inference, with a focus on the design and analysis of experiments and surveys. I am particularly interested in missing data methods, treatment-effect heterogeneity, synthetic data, active learning, and the use of large language models in survey measurement — applied to questions about elections, money in politics, and public health.
