Postdoc at Stanford University
I am currently a Postdoctoral Fellow at Stanford University. I study topics in international relations and political economy. My work primarily uses game theory, quantitative methods, and networks to understand strategic political interactions. I am especially interested in the role of interstate alliances, economic interdependence, and diplomacy in war. I completed my Ph.D. at Princeton University in 2024.
