I am an assistant professor of political science at the University of Oregon and a non-resident senior fellow at the Peterson Institute for International Economics. I am also a non-resident scholar at the UC San Diego 21st Century China Center and a public intellectual fellow with the National Committee on U.S.-China Relations.

​My research interests lie at the intersection of international and comparative political economy, with an emphasis on China and the developing world. Two broad questions define my research agenda. First: how do international economic policies affect politics within authoritarian regimes such as China, given that these policies increasingly have far-reaching impacts on domestic institutions? Second, how does the interaction between the international economy and authoritarian regimes affect firm strategies and public opinion? 

From 2017-2020, I was a fellow of the World Economic Forum's Council on the Future of International Trade and Investment. From 2017-2019, I was a member of the Georgetown University Initiative for U.S.-China Dialogue on Global Issues. From 2017-18, I was a post-doctoral fellow at the Princeton-Harvard China and the World Program in Princeton University. 

I hold a PhD in Public Policy from Harvard University (2017), an MPA in International Development from the John F. Kennedy School of Government, Harvard University (2011) and a BA (Honors, Distinction) in International Relations and Economics from Stanford University
(2002). Apart from research on globalization and China, I have also worked in the public and non-governmental sectors on a range of issues including economic development, international security policy, global governance and governance innovations.
