Social scientist examining the link between religion, values, and political violence. Trying to understand what drives people to commit ideologically driven violence (such as terrorism). I design interviews and experiments with fundamentalist combatants (e.g., Militant Jihadis) and analyze and visualize the data using R and Python. For fun, I try to automate as much of my daily workflow as possible using Automator, Hazel, and Apple Script. The many shortcuts and trackpad gestures associated with these automations have made my computer practically unusable for anyone else. ©
