My research lies at the intersection of the subfields of international political economy and international organizations. My work investigates the causes, design features, and consequences of international institutions, including economic and human rights institutions in particular. I am also interested in Sovereign Wealth Funds, and have multiple projects exploring their causes and consequences.
