About
I am an Assistant Professor jointly appointed in UC College and the Instituto de Sociología at the Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile, and an affiliated researcher at CENIA, Chile's National Center for Artificial Intelligence. Previously, I was a postdoctoral researcher at CENIA and at the Schwartz Reisman Institute for Technology and Society at the University of Toronto. I received my Ph.D. in Political Science from the University of Michigan in 2024.
I am a computational social scientist studying political institutions, political behavior, and the use of artificial intelligence in social-science research. My work develops AI-assisted methods for measuring political and institutional processes at scale, examines how interactions with AI affect political attitudes and behavior, and explores how public institutions can use these systems for policy design, implementation, and learning. You can find my CV here.
