Hi, I am a Sr. Data Scientist at NBCUniversal and here is my LinkedIn. This is my academic site. I completed my Ph.D. in Political Science at the University of California, Merced and was a 2020/2021 Institute on Global Conflict and Cooperation Dissertation Fellow. My primary research interests are political violence, human rights, and institutional changes. Particularly, I focused on the effects of incentives and constraints created by government or non-government institutional changes on political violence and human rights conditions at both the international level and sub-national level. I also worked on measurement problems in international relations and comparative politics.
