Picture
I am a development economist with a particular interest in political economy. My work focuses on understanding the institutional and cultural determinants of major development obstacles, specifically those related to bureaucracy, corruption, and conflict. 

I will be joining the Stanford Center on China's Economy and Institutions as a postdoctoral fellow in Summer 2022 and the University of Hong Kong as an assistant professor in Fall 2023.
