PhD, International Relations

I am a Postdoctoral Fellow at the University of California’s Institute on Global Conflict and Cooperation (IGCC), working in affiliation with Los Alamos and Lawrence Livermore National Laboratories. I hold a PhD in Government from Cornell University, where I specialized in national security, emerging technology, and intelligence studies.

My research combines formal modeling, causal inference, and machine learning to study modern security threats, with a focus on intelligence targeting—who gets spied on, for how long, and why.

Previously, I was a modeling analyst at Nielsen, building time-series econometric models for Coca-Cola. I also served as a Research Fellow at the Jain Family Institute, working on basic income policy. I hold a BA in Economics from NYU (2015) and an MA in Politics from Columbia University (2017).
