I develop, implement, and assess the quality of modern methods of collecting data for the behavioral and social sciences. In particular, I am interested in how to jointly collect self-reports (usually via (mobile) web surveys) and passive measurement from smartphone and wearable sensors, online and device log files, Internet search queries, and other digital traces to better study research questions on migration, employment, and inequality.
