Hi! I'm a psychologist specializing in quantitative analysis. As an academic researcher, I spent eight years using experiments, surveys, and data science to study the psychology of politics and religion.
​
After leaving academia I founded Mercier Research, my company for all things research. Here are a few examples of the research services I can provide or offer consultation for:
