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 public opinion, elections, political parties, and corruption in autocracies and democracies, particularly in East and Southeast Asia. My research lies at the intersection of political institutions and policies, behavior of ordinary citizens, and survival strategies of leaders and regimes. 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. |
