SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Learning\, Salience\, and Voting: Evidence from Criminal Politicians in India (with Siddharth George and Sarika Gupta)
DESCRIPTION:We study how voters process information through two experiments around Indian elections. In a large-scale experiment\, we show that providing voters information about candidates’ criminal charges increases votes for clean candidates and reduces votes for criminal politicians\, with larger penalties for candidates facing more and serious charges. A follow-up experiment replicates these results and identifies two mechanisms. First\, information facilitates learning: voters form more accurate beliefs and evaluate criminal candidates less favorably. Second\, using direct measures of voter attention\, we show that information makes criminality more salient\, and increases its weight in voting decisions. Salience effects are larger when information is surprising or highlights contrast\, but do not vary with decision relevance\, consistent with bottom-up attention. Causal forest estimates provide further evidence that learning and salience are both important drivers of changes in voting behavior. We develop a simple model that integrates salience theory into a standard probabilistic voting framework to explain our results.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Imaging Chemical Reactions and Processes
DESCRIPTION:Imaging chemical reactions under synthetically relevant conditions can reveal mechanistic information that is inaccessible with traditional analytical techniques. Our laboratory develops fluorescence microscopy methods—including fluorescence intensity and fluorescence lifetime imaging microscopy (FLIM)—to understand chemical reactivity and physical processes in complex reaction media with spatial and temporal resolution. We examine aqueous–organic reactions\, oxidative addition to metal powders\, and catalytic polymerization. These systems present particular challenges to traditional characterization methods: aqueous–organic emulsions are heterogeneous and optically opaque\, organometallic surface intermediates in oxidative–addition reactions do not substantially build up\, and many growing polymers are insoluble or spatially heterogenous. In these systems\, FLIM reveals object sizes\, catalyst localization and environments\, the role of reagents\, and the physiochemical reasons underpinning catalytic turnover rates. For example\, droplet-to-droplet differences in emulsions under cross-coupling conditions suggest that individual droplets function as distinct reaction vessels.
