I am a PhD student at University of Connecticut’s Department of Anthropology.

My foremost interest is religion and secularization. When does secularization occur? What causes it? How does it happen? And most important, how can we measure these things?

My background is religious studies. But in recent years, I have become increasingly interested in quantitative analysis of worldviews and behavior. In my research, I employ Multilevel Modeling, Social Network Analysis, Bayesian Inference, ANOVA, Latent Variable Modeling, and more. I am also thoroughly indoctrinated as an R purist.
