I will be on the job market for AY25-26! Please do not hesitate to contact me (ski15@iu.edu) if you have any related questions.

I am a postdoctoral researcher at the Observatory on Social Media (OSoMe) at Indiana University, where I work with Filippo Menczer. I received my Ph.D. in Political Science and Social Data Analytics from The Pennsylvania State University, advised by Bruce Desmarais.

My research examines how digital platforms and online information environments shape political behavior and public opinion, with a substantive focus on the United States and comparative cases. I combine computational methods, large-scale observational data, and experimental approaches to study political communication on emerging platforms, multi-platform news consumption, misinformation diffusion, content moderation, and the political implications of artificial intelligence.

I have published in leading journals including PLOS ONE, European Journal of Political Reserach, Political Science Research and Methods, and the Proceedings of the International AAAI Conference on Web and Social Media (ICWSM). My work has been recognized with an Honorable Mention for the 2022 John Sprague Award from the APSA Political Networks section.
