Overview
I am currently a PhD candidate in the Department of Government at Cornell University. My work lies at the intersection of climate politics, trade, and industrial development. Specifically, I study firm nonmarket strategy, trade politics, and the political economy of clean energy industries. I combine qualitative and quantitative approaches, including ethnographic fieldwork, elite interviews, and survey experiments. I spent extended time doing fieldwork in China and Southeast Asia between 2022-2025. My work benefits from unique access to the clean tech manufacturing industries, allowing me to draw on primary evidence from opaque institutional contexts.
