Welcome to my website.

I am a joint PhD student in the Department of Political Science and the Department of Agricultural and Applied Economics at the University of Wisconsin–Madison.

A political scientist and economist working on the intersection of political economy, comparative politics, and development economics, I study identity and culture from a political economy perspective in the authoritarian context. I am generally interested in topics from economic development, culture and institutions, to identity and ideology, and information technology & media and social media.
