Welcome! I am a PhD candidate in Political Economy. I use formal theory to study the domestic and international politics of authoritarian regimes. My dissertation committee chair is Scott Gehlbach.
I will be on the 2026-2027 job market. My job market paper examines why a dominant country engages economically with a potentially rising rival, and how two countries can sustain economic cooperation through relational contracts while limiting political conflict.
I earned a master’s degree from LSE and a bachelor’s degree in International Politics from Zhejiang University.
