Dahyun Choi

Hello! I am a Ph.D. candidate in the Department of Politics at Princeton University, where I am affiliated with the Center for the Study of Democratic Politics, the Data-Driven Social Science Initiative, and the Program for Quantitative and Analytical Political Science. I work on questions in interest group politics, lobbying, political economy, and American political institutions, using methods from computational social science and applied statistics. I also develop methodological tools to improve machine learning practices in political science.
