I am a first-year PhD student in the Department of Political Science at Yale. I received my Master’s in Chinese Political Economy from the School of Global Policy and Strategy at UC San Diego, and my BA from the joint program in Business Administration and East Asian Studies at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. My research focuses on developing computational methods, mainly using Large Language Models (LLMs) and Natural Language Processing (NLP), to measure political constructs in political communication and elite politics. My goal is to develop methods for political scientists to better understand political leaders’ influence over policy-making, predominantly in authoritarian regimes. My substantive interest lies in the intersection of elite politics and financial markets, especially in the Chinese context.
