Welcome! I am an Assistant Professor of Political Science at Utah State University who studies autocratic politics, democratization, and democratic backsliding. I received my Ph.D. in Political Science from the Pennsylvania State University in 2023.
I am interested in elections, political parties, public opinion, and corruption in autocracies and democracies, particularly in East and Southeast Asia. My research lies at the intersection of political institutions, the survival strategies of leaders and regimes, and the behavior of ordinary citizens. My work applies quantitative analysis, experiments, surveys, formal modeling, and social network analysis and has appeared in Comparative Political Studies and Democratization. I teach undergraduate and graduate courses on comparative politics and methodology. |
