Abida is a Ph.D. student in Political Science at the University of Florida specializing in American politics and political methodology. Her research focuses on partisan and affective polarization, voting behavior, and electoral institutions in the United States.

Using large-scale survey and administrative data, she applies quantitative methods to study inequality in political participation and the dynamics of contemporary American elections.
