I am a prospective Ph.D. student in Political Science for the 2021-2022 school-year. I am particularly interested in the origins of pro-social political norms and institutions that prevent political violence, protect minority rights, and promote economic growth. More recently, I ask how democratic institutions will adapt to the social and economic transformations wrought by advances in artificial intelligence and the digitization of political discourse.
I am currently a Research Assistant at the Center for Peace and Security Studies (cPASS), a Teaching Assistant in UC San Diego’s Making of the Modern World Department, a Lecturer in the School of Global Policy and Strategy’s Summer Prep Program, and an avid songwriter. You can access my writing sample here, as well as my CV and GRE scores here.
