Welcome! I am an Assistant Professor of Politics at New York University. My research interests are in international political economy and environmental politics.
Most of my current research focuses on the following questions:
When can governments effectively compensate the losers from transformative economic change?
What role do scientific knowledge and uncertainty play in international environmental cooperation?
I study these questions in the context of societies undergoing transformative economic changes, such as those brought about by trade, technology, and climate change.
I was previously a Postdoctoral Fellow at the Niehaus Center for Global Governance at Princeton University from 2023-24. I received my Ph.D. in Political Science at Stanford University in 2023.
