Welcome!
I am a Ph.D. candidate in the Department of Political Science at Stanford University. I study the political economy of conflict and development, with an empirical focus on Chinese development aid.
My research has been supported by the King Center for International Development, the Freeman Spogli Institute for International Studies, the Stanford Center on China’s Economy and Institutions, the Stanford Institute for Economic Policy Research, the Center for East Asian Studies, and the Center for African Studies at Stanford.
Prior to doctoral studies, I was a Research Specialist at the Empirical Studies of Conflict (ESOC) lab at Princeton University and a Research Associate with the South China Sea Data Initiative (SCSDI). I hold an M.A. in International Policy from Stanford University and a B.A. in Political Science from the University of Southern California.
