As the Head of Social Science Data and Software (SSDS), I oversee the operations of this service and direct the programming of this group.  SSDS provides consultations for researchers needing assistance with finding and using research data and with the use of software tools for both quantitative and qualitiative analysis.  I have expertise in statistics, social science research methods, and a variety of software packages and programming languages.  In addition, as the Political Science Subject Specialist, I provide direct support for research related to this discipline and oversee the collection of political science research resources, including books, periodicals, and data.
