A living page with a few notes I often share with students. If something resonates — or if you're stuck — feel free to reach out.
If you're in data science / computational social science and feel stuck or helpless, I keep informal slots to chat. We can talk about research, life, or hobbies.
Some personal reflections collected during my PhD are here — they're highly personal and may not apply to everyone.
Some personal reflections collected during my faculty time are here — same caveat.
A PhD can be the most intense and productive 4–5 years of your life. It helps to know your why up front — dark patches happen, and that clarity keeps you steady.
If you're on the postdoc / faculty market and want feedback on materials or process, I'm happy to chat.
If you have a lot of free time and are wondering what faculty life looks like, I have some videos on my YouTube channel recording what I did every week for a few months. It's mostly for my own consumption and accountability but might be insightful.
