Research

My work spans a broad array of population phenomena in which the actions of individuals are dynamically interdependent. Most of it blends statistical and agent-based methods to examine the relationship between individuals' decisions about where to live and patterns of residential segregation. I'm currently working on problems related to income inequality and income segregation, mate preferences and marriage market dynamics, and the role of scale (population and group size) in social dynamics.
