Welcome to my website.

I am a joint PhD student in political science and applied economics at the University of Wisconsin–Madison.

Working on the intersection of political economy, comparative politics, and development economics, I am interested in topics including economic development, culture and institutions, identity and ideology, and information technology & media and social media. I am also interested in engaging with the theories of decision-making and empirical methods of causal inference, and applying them to the study of economic and political behavior in general.
