I am an Assistant Professor in Yale University's Department of Political Science and Resident Fellow in the Institution for Social and Policy Studies and Center for the Study of American Politics. I received my A.B. in Politics and Political Economy from Princeton University (2004) and Ph.D. in Political Science from Harvard University (2009).  My research interests are primarily in American politics, with special emphasis on congressional politics, political parties, and the role of money in politics.  

Note: In 2011-2012, I will be on sabbatical (Yale University Junior Faculty Fellowship), and will not be teaching any classes.
