Haodi Dong

I am a fifth-year Ph.D. candidate in the Department of Politics at Princeton University.

I study American political institutions with a focus on public law. My dissertation combines formal theory and quantitative methods to examine how judicial review structures court–agency interactions and influences policymaking.

Prior to Princeton, I received a B.S. in Applied Mathematics, with a minor in Philosophy, from the University of California, Davis, and a J.D. from Wake Forest University School of Law.

I am on the 2026–27 job market.
