During AY2018-2019, I will be a postdoctoral research fellow with the Middle East Initiative at Harvard Kennedy School of Government's Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs. My research interests include political psychology and voting behavior; religion and politics;Islamist movements; hybrid regimes; and survey, experimental and qualitative methodologies.
