About

Welcome

I am currently a Stanton Nuclear Security Fellow at Stanford’s Center for International Security and Cooperation. For the 2023-24 academic year, I was a research fellow with the International Security Program at the Harvard Kennedy School's Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs. I completed my Ph.D. in political science at the University of California San Diego in May 2023. For the summer of 2022, I was a Summer Associate with the RAND Center for Analysis of U.S. Grand Strategy, and for the 2020-2021 academic year I was a Hans J. Morgenthau Fellow at the Notre Dame International Security Center. My research and teaching interests include congressional-executive relations in U.S. foreign policy, constitutional law, deterrence theory, and the U.S.-China relationship. I have been a graduate student researcher for the Center for Peace and Security Studies (cPASS) and the 21st Century China Center, and am currently a Non-resident Fellow at the UC Institute on Global Conflict and Cooperation (IGCC). My work has been published by International Studies Quarterly, The National Interest, The Diplomat, Lawfare, and other outlets. I have served as the instructor of record for classes on the Presidency, the U.S. Congress, and the Cold War. I hold a B.A. in Economics with a minor in Chinese from the University of California, Davis, and a J.D.—with a specialization in International and Comparative Law—from the UCLA School of Law.
