I am currently a Visiting Fellow at Dartmouth College’s Dickey Center for International Understanding. Previously I was the Niehaus and Rosenwald Fellow at the Dickey Center, a Postdoctoral Fellow at the University of Texas at Austin’s Clements Center for National Security, a Pre-Doctoral Fellow at the America in the World Consortium, as well as a Carnegie Junior Scholar with the Carnegie International Policy Scholars Consortium and Network (IPSCON).
I study economic sanctions—their causes, implementation, and consequences. I also work on broader topics in economic security such as critical minerals supply chain and micro-foundations of foreign policy - with a focus on East Asia. I use statistical analyses, surveys and survey experiments, qualitative case studies, and formal models in my research.
My projects have been published in International Interactions and invited to revise and resubmit at Foreign Policy Analysis. A book project on the critical minerals supply chain is currently under contract with Cambridge University Press.
My research was and is currently supported by the National Science Foundation, the O'Donnell Grant from the Scowcroft Institute of International Affairs, and the Bradley Foundation.
I received my Ph.D. from Duke University's Department of Political Science in Sept. 2023. I also hold an MA degree from New York University's Department of Politics, and a Bachelor of Economics and Finance (BEcon&Fin) from the University of Hong Kong.
