Reshikesav (Reshi) Rajan

Howdy! I am a PhD student in the Department of Political Science at Texas A&M University’s Bush School of Government in College Station, Texas. My substantive research interests are primarily within comparative politics; I complement this with research interests in political methodology.

My substantive research interests are primarily in the intersection of comparative political behavior & political economy — specifically how economic institutions and features impact voting behavior. My methodological research interests are focused in quantitative methodology — particularly maximum likelihood estimation, generalized linear models, and time-series, spatial, and panel/TSCS data analysis.

I completed my B.A. in International Affairs with a minor in Mathematics from the University of Georgia in 2023 as well as my M.A. in Political Science.
