About Me

Welcome to my website. I am a Ph.D. candidate in the Department of Political Science at Vanderbilt University. I am broadly interested in international conflict and international political economy. I use formal theory and statistical methods to study the causes and effects of international conflict. Substantively, my work focuses on the risk of war during power shifts and how economic interdependence influences international conflicts. In AY 2024-25, I will be a postdoctoral research associate at W. Allen Wallis Institute of Political Economy, at the University of Rochester.
