I am a Visiting Assistant Professor in Political Science at Macalester College.

I teach courses related to international relations, political economy, East Asia, global governance, and political violence.  

​

My research focuses on the economic side of political violence and peace from the perspectives of International Relations and Comparative Politics. For example, my dissertation is about economic influences in peacebuilding after civil conflicts, mainly focusing on foreign direct investment.
