I am an Assistant Professor in Political Science and Environmental Studies at Washington University in St. Louis. I received my Ph.D. in the Department of Government at Harvard University.

I am a political economist interested in climate policy and business lobbying. I study how policymakers strategically design climate policies to overcome opposition from carbon-intensive industries, how interest groups use tactical coalitions to increase their effectiveness in informational lobbying, and how family firms build political power in developing countries. To address my research questions, I use formal models, original data collection, and causal inference methods.
