I am a postdoctoral fellow in the Emergence, Life, and Demise of Autocratic Regimes (ELDAR) project at the University of Oslo and a non-resident fellow at the Digital Democracy Lab as part of the Digital Society Initiative at the University of Zurich.

My general research interests include political communication, comparative politics, conflict studies, and quantitative methods.

Most of my current research deals with the question of how modern day authoritarian governments control information and how news providers and citizens respond to such efforts. I am especially interested in cyber operations (see my dissertation), online censoring, propaganda, indoctrination, and repressive Internet laws. Beyond this focus, I work on questions related to contentious and digital politics more generally.

My research has been published in the British Journal of Political Science, Political Science Research and Methods, the Journal of Conflict Resolution, and Democratization, among others.
