Hi, I’m Jonathan!

I am an undergraduate attending Northern Illinois University for Mathematical Sciences and Political Science. I hope to use this site to discuss my projects, both academic and hobbyist, articles I am writing or have written for the Northern Star, general thoughts about media, and TTRPG session notes and preparation. Hopefully that is enough other random stuff that when forced to network at conferences, we have something other than our research to discuss.

My research interests are focused on the adaptation of quantitative methodologies to questions in International Relations. I will be presenting at MPSA 2025 as part of Section 41, International Security (abstract available upon MPSA’s publishing of the conference schedule). I currently applying to graduate programs in Political Science, first field Methodology and second field International Relations.
