I study problems in electoral democracy using novel empirical and computational methods. My core focus is the connection between comparative electoral institutions and voting behaviour: how do the rules of elections shape the way that people vote? I also develop computational methods for political science, and publish large empirical datasets. I've published work on voter strategy, election audits, measuring democracy, election administrators, and the potential consequences of novel electoral systems. I'm an Editorial Board Member of the Nature journal Scientific Data.
I'm also a computational activist and data-for-goodnik. I've written code to administer the internal elections of large non-governmental organizations, and have built datasets for use in elections for public office.
