I'm a sociologist studying science, technology, and organizations across different societies, especially in East Asia and Eurasia. 

I'm currently writing a dissertation on the Emergency development and regulation of COVID-19 vaccines in China and Russia (Ph.D. expected summer 2026, Sociology Department, Brown University). The project 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.

In parallel, I've been working on two projects on how individual life course dynamics shape—and are shaped by—meso-organizational and macro-historical change. The first investigates who gets purged and to what effect in illiberal societies and organizations, drawing on an original longitudinal dataset of 788 individuals. The second, a collaboration with Andrew Schrank, develops a theory of how hierarchical organizations stay in shape through different types of “culling and pruning.”

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). 

Starting Fall 2026 I'll be a Postdoctoral Fellow at the Center for Economy and Society of the SNF Agora Institute, Johns Hopkins University.
