I research local and global challenges in the political economy of development, water and energy policy, civil society and accountability, and climate change.

 

I am a Postdoctoral Research Associate at Princeton University. In Fall 2020, I will start as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Political Science at Texas A&M University. I received a Ph.D. in Political Science from Columbia University in May 2019.
