I'm a sociologist of science, technology, and organizations with a regional focus on East Asia and Eurasia. I'm currently writing a dissertation on the COVID-19 vaccine development in China and Russia (Ph.D. expected Spring 2026, Sociology Department, Brown University). It has been funded by the Canadian Institute for Advanced Research, Overseas Young Chinese Forum and Chow Foundation, and Brown University's Sociology Department, Graduate School, and Watson School of International and Public Affairs.

Before embarking on my dissertation research, I wrote a master’s thesis on purges, rehabilitations, and their organizational consequences. An article derived from it is currently under second-round review at Social Forces. I have also collaborated with Andrew Schrank on developing a theory of “culling” in hierarchical organizations, with a related article now under review at the American Journal of Sociology.

I have an MA in sociology from Brown University (2020) and MSc in Russian and Eurasian Studies from King's College London and European University at St. Petersburg (2018). 

I'm currently on the 2025-2026 job market!
