Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolChristopher Kenny is a political scientist and quantitative methodologist who studies redistricting, democratic institutions, and the electoral impacts of census privacy. A Harvard Government PhD (’25) joining Princeton DDSS as a postdoctoral researcher, he blends rigorous theory with large-scale empirical simulation to inform courts, scholars, and advocates. He cofounded the ALARM Project and builds widely used open-source R tools—redist, geomander, and censable—that have been downloaded over 300,000 times and drive reproducible redistricting analysis. His work specifically bridges technical algorithm design and real-world policy questions, from partisan bias measurement to voting-rights implications of differential privacy. Based in West Haverstraw, NY, he brings eight years of research and software development experience and an uncommon mix of legal-relevant evidence production and developer-oriented tooling.
