I am a 6th year PhD Candidate at Cornell University’s Department of Government. My research focuses on national security, emerging technology, and intelligence. My methodological specialty includes causal inference statistics, formal modeling, agent-based simulations, and qualitative methods. I am also an adjunct at the RAND Corporation where I work primarily with the US Space Force; and am an Industry Fellow at Cornell’s Tech Policy Institute where I consult Microsoft on AI regulation.

Previously I was a modeling analyst at the Nielsen Corporation, working primarily on running time-series econometric models for the Coca Cola Corporation; and I was a Research Fellow in the Basic Income division at the Jain Family Institute. I obtained my BA in Economics from New York University (2015), MA in Politics from Columbia University (2017), and am expected to defend my dissertation at Cornell University in 2025.
