I am a Research Fellow in the Department of Economics at the University of Melbourne. I received my Ph.D. in Economics from the University of Hong Kong. My research lies at the intersection of political economy, comparative politics, development economics, and economic history.

My work focuses on institutional development, state capacity, and, conflicts, with particular attention to how institutions shape political and economic outcomes. My research has been published in Comparative Political Studies, International Studies Quarterly, and Journal of Peace Research.
