Department: Princeton School of Public and International Affairs Faculty Adviser: Jacob Shapiro Year of Study: G6 Undergraduate School: Yale University Undergraduate Major: Political Science, Physics
I'm a PhD candidate in the Security Studies programme at SPIA! I call Stockholm, Sweden and NYC my hometowns. During my time at Princeton, I've been involved in the Center for International Security Studies, Data Driven Social Science, the Center for Statistics and Machine Learning and the Graduate Student Government (I'm the VP). I also worked as a research fellow in data science for the United Nations Department of Peacekeeping Operations. I'm obsessed with rock climbing and sometimes compose classical music for the ensembles visiting campus. I can often be found running around campus with my rescue husky, Kofi.
I participated in a production of Avatar the Last Ring Juggler with the Princeton Juggling Club! I played Zuko :-)
My research focuses on violent conflict and international security and contributes to the subfields of international relations, comparative politics and political economy. I am motivated to better understand the impacts of conflict dynamics and international intervention approaches, and to develop innovative toolkits for policymakers to solve pressing global security issues. I explore several themes related to the impacts of international intervention and great power competition on democracy, human rights and the rule of law in conflict states. My dissertation studies how multilateral interventions impact the policy of conflict states and how hedging among autocratic and democratic powers for support can increase coup vulnerability. I employ and develop a diversity of quantitative and qualitative tools, including design-based causal inference, structural game theory, Bayesian machine learning, surveys and interviews. Through research partnerships with local universities, NGOs and the United Nations, I am able to access remote conflict communities for data, surveys and interviews.
Interested in participating in Summer 2027 ReMatch+ program.
