About Me

I am an Assistant Professor of Political Science at the University of California, Berkeley. My primary field of research is international political economy, with a focus on regulatory politics, the governance of multinational firms, and the politics of climate change. My book, Regulating Risk: How Private Information Shapes Global Safety Standards, was published with Cambridge University Press. It explores how producers leverage private information in order to win regulatory barriers to competition and trade at the domestic and international levels of governance. I have also published work in the American Journal of Political Science, Science Advances, Comparative Political Studies, International Studies Quarterly, and the Journal of Legal Analysis.

I received my doctorate from Stanford University in the field of political science. I hold a master’s degree from the Fletcher School at Tufts University and a bachelor’s degree from Princeton University, where I majored in politics and graduated summa cum laude and phi beta kappa. Prior to joining the faculty at UC Berkeley I was an Assistant Professor of Politics and International Affairs at Princeton University.
