Research Overview

My research primarily centers on the evolution of the United States post-1960s, with a specific emphasis on the country's political, societal, and cultural polarization since then. To this end, I have been writing the regular American Carnage Substack which explores US polarization throughout history and how it can help us understand modern American politics.

I am currently leading a project that seeks to understand the continuous polarization in the U.S. during largely peaceful and prosperous 1990s. As part of this project, I am currently writing an article on gay rights in the 1990s.

With extensive experience and expertise in U.S. Elections, I have been actively involved in numerous public engagement events, especially during election years.

Another significant area of my research is the impact of military conflicts on American politics, society, and culture. I pay special attention to the Vietnam War and the Iraq War, analysing their transformative effects on the nation.

Additionally, I have niche interests in the historical aspects of sleep, fertility/surrogacy, and neuroscience.
