Welcome!
Welcome! I’m a Postdoctoral Fellow at the China and the World Program at Columbia University, and a Research Fellow at the International Security Program at Harvard’s Belfer Center. I will be an Assistant Professor at the Pardee School at Boston University beginning Fall 2026. I received my PhD in Political Science from MIT in 2025.
My research examines the strategies and tools rising powers use to shape international order, with a focus on the rise of China. I explore this question through three research streams. The first examines how China shapes international order by commandeering existing rules, rather than overturning them or building alternative institutions. The second examines the drivers and effectiveness of China’s economic statecraft, which Beijing has increasingly wielded to further its goals. The final stream studies how China sustains its capability for competition through indigenous technological development, especially those with military applications. In my spare time, I enjoy karaoke and trying out new recipies, and harbor dreams of opening a Chinese restaurant one day.
