Welcome to my personal Website.
I am an Asst. Research Professor in the Human Rights Institute, University of Connecticut. I am the Director of the Human Rights Research and Data (HuRRD) Hub and a member of the steering committees for UConn's Engineering for Human Rights Initiative and the Business and Human Rights Initiative.
My research investigates armed conflict processes and political violence, informing policy solutions to reduce the human suffering they generate. My work has been published or is forthcoming in American Political Science Review, International Security, International Studies Quarterly, Journal of Conflict Resolution, Conflict Management and Peace Science, Journal of Global Security Studies, and International Studies Review. My research has been funded by the National Science Foundation (Law and Social Sciences Program), The Institute for the Study of Human Rights, The Earth Institute, and the Weatherhead East Asian Institute.
I earned a PhD (2018), MPhil (2014), and MA (2012) in Political Science from Columbia University, specializing in International Relations and Comparative Politics. I earned my B.A. (2010) from Emory University.
Prior to joining UConn, I was a Postdoctoral Scholar in the Center for Peace and Security Studies (cPASS) at the University of California, San Diego (UCSD).
On this website you can find more details about my research, teaching, and download my C.V.
