I am a PhD candidate in the Department of Government at Harvard University and an affiliate of Institute for Quantitative Social Science (IQSS), Weatherhead Center for International Affairs. I am broadly interested in international political economy, state-business relationships, economic statecraft, and political lobbying.
I study how states and firms navigate foreign economic coercion and geopolitical conflicts, using observational quantitative analysis, experiments, and field interviews. My research examines the strategic behavior of multinational firms, the lobbying of their supply chain partners, and government subsidies aimed at retaining domestic manufacturing during the U.S.-China trade war. In other work, I analyze the impact of the Ukraine crisis on firms’ exits from Russia and the effects of WTO rulings on subsidies, regulatory transparency, and international cooperation.
Currently, I am a pre-doctoral fellow in the Global Political Economy Project (GPEP) at the Mortara Center for International Studies at Georgetown University (2024 - 2025). Previously, I was Hans J. Morgenthau Fellow at the International Security Center at University of Notre Dame (2023–2024). I hold a B.A. in Political Science and Philosophy from Peking University and an M.A. in Regional Studies–East Asia from Harvard University.
