Welcome! I am a behavioral scientist specializing in political behavior and experimental methods. 

I serve as the Director of the Bachelor's Degree in Behavioral Sciences and Adjunct Professor at the Universidad Católica del Uruguay. I received my Ph.D. in Political Science from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, in the fields of comparative politics and methodology.

My research explores the interaction between political orientation and non-political aspects of everyday life. I examine how individuals use non-political cues as cognitive shortcuts to infer political information about others, and how such information influences their social interactions and voting behavior. I also study how candidates strategically use non-political elements to signal political orientation, and how political identities affect decision-making even in non-political contexts. Additionally, I focus on biases related to affective polarization more broadly.

My work primarily focuses on Latin America, though I also study the United States. I mainly use survey experiments (with vignettes or audio treatments), but I also employ a range of methods, including expert surveys, elite interviews, and machine learning techniques.
