Welcome! I am an Assistant Professor of Government at American University. I study authoritarian governance and foreign influence, with a regional focus on China. One line of my work examines how autocrats manage domestic grievances among societal actors. Another investigates authoritarian transnational repression and propaganda. I draw on qualitative fieldwork, surveys and experiments, and computational tools to study these questions.
My work has appeared or is forthcoming at Comparative Political Studies, Perspectives on Politics, Political Science Research and Methods, and The China Quarterly. My dissertation received the 2023 Best Dissertation Award in the area of Information Technology and Politics by the American Political Science Association, 2024 Best Dissertation Award by the Western Political Science Association, and the Best Faculty Poster Award at 2023 Society for Political Methodology Summer Meeting.
I earned a Ph.D. in Political Science from Stanford University in 2022 and was a Postdoctoral Research Scholar at Stanford's Cyber Policy Center (2022-2024).
