My current research focuses on understanding the complexity behind public opinion formation, including political attitudes and party identity, and examines the key drivers behind it. Do the internet, traditional news sources, or our social network have the greatest influence on us? In this context, I cover topics such as political polarisation, voting behaviour, Brexit, and media diversity.
My methodology centers on the use of quantitative methods, including descriptive and inferential statistics, network analysis, and machine learning classifications. My doctoral thesis specifically explores the relationship between political engagement and digital media usage in the context of British politics, using network theory and a computational social science approach to examine political sociology puzzles. I see myself as a computational social scientist who takes sociological theory very seriously.
This academic term, I am tutoring at the University of Oxford Sociological Theory , Radical Social Theory, and Political Sociology for PPE, History, and Politics undergraduates. You can access my current teaching materials for my lectures and Oxford tutorials here on my website under the teaching tab.

A list of projects I am currently working on will follow soon.
My doctoral studies are supervised by Stephen Fisher (Professor in Political Sociology; Fellow of Trinity College, University of Oxford), and Michael Biggs (Associate Professor of Sociology; Fellow of St Cross College, University of Oxford).
