Hi! I am a Ph.D. candidate in the Department of Politics at Princeton University. I am a fellow in the Program for Quantitative and Analytical Political Science (QAPS) and Research Program in Political Economy (RPPE). I am on the 2025-26 academic job market.
My research lies at the intersection of comparative political economy and quantitative methods, with a focus on the political economy of inequality. My dissertation examines how individuals form preferences over redistribution and how those preferences translate into political behavior, particularly in contexts of spatial inequality. Methodologically, I integrate causal inference, drawing on survey and natural experiments, with structural modeling to identify the drivers of redistribution preferences and trace how they map onto political behavior.
I am advised by Matías Iaryczower, Carles Boix, Guadalupe Tuñón, and Thomas Fujiwara.
Before joining Princeton, I obtained an M.A. in Analytical Political Economy from Duke University and a B.A. in Economics from Minzu University of China.
