I am an assistant professor in the Department of Political Science at Washington University in St. Louis. I previously worked as an assistant professor at the School of Politics, Economics, and Global Affairs at IE University (2021-2023). I received my Ph.D. in Political Science from the University of Rochester in 2021. I am broadly interested in formal political theory and conflict. My current research focuses on rebel strategies, state support for insurgent groups, and state & border formation. You can find a copy of my CV here.
