I have broad research interests in American political institutions, executive branch and bureaucratic politics, special interest politics, political economy, and applied game theory and formal modeling. My research has been published in leading academic journals such as the American Political Science Review, the American Journal of Political Science, and the Journal of Politics. My teaching spans courses on American political institutions, bureaucratic politics, money in politics, game theory, and applied formal modeling. Before coming to Pitt I held faculty positions at Texas A&M University and Yale University. I was awarded the Poorvu Family Fund for Academic Innovation Award for excellence in teaching at Yale.
