I'm a political scientist who studies conflict and development, especially in Southeast Asia (including the South China Sea), Afghanistan and Latin America. I’m an Assistant Professor in the Department of Political Science at Emory University.
My scholarly work has been published in the American Political Science Review, American Journal of Political Science and Journal of Politics. I also do policy work and commentary, which has been published by the Washington Post, New York Times, FiveThirtyEight, the Guardian, and Foreign Policy, as well as by the International Crisis Group and the UN.
