The ballot image log project is collecting and organizing public ballot image log data (also known as Cast Voter Records) to advance the understanding of voting patterns in federal, state and local elections. One of the project's goals is to establish a relational database for such data. This project is one of the 2018 New Initiative Grants from the MIT Election Data and Science Lab. Please feel free to contact me for any questions about ths project. Fore more information, see:

• The associated empirical paper of this ongoing work here.
• A short memo on the administration of cast vote records.
• More information about the queryable database, which is currently in development with help from collaborators.

• Charleston Exit Poll Technical Report. (with Shun Yamaya).

At Harvard I have taught classes on American Politics, statistics, and programming, at the undergraduate, Masters, and Ph.D. level. During 2019-2020, I will be shepherding the use of the R statistical language in the MPA-ID program in the Harvard Kennedy School as the R teaching fellow (See syllabus and slide deck).

I taught the Government Math Prefresher for incoming Ph.D. students in 2017 (with Connor Jerzak) and 2018 (with Yon Soo Park).

Additionally:

• My statistics notes covering Probability, Inference, and Regression written for a Masters-level Statistics and Quantitative Analysis (source),
• Slides for an introduction to version control with GitHub (source),
• Memo for an introduction to Stata (source), and
• Memo for project management (source)
• The Gov Prefresher's text in web book form.

• The Cumulative CCES Common Content (2006-2018) is a part of the Cooperative Congressional Election Survey Dataverse. It combines all common content respondents of the CCES and harmonizes key variables, so that researchers can analyze all years of the CCES or merge in standardized variables with their own CCES datasets.
