I am a Ph.D. Candidate at Princeton University and a graduate student fellow in the Program for Quantitative and Analytical Political Science. I study political economy and conflict, with special interest in systemic causes of international war. My research typically involves game theory and structural estimation, as well as social and economic networks.
