- I am a Postdoctoral Research Associate in the Niehaus Center for Globalization and Governance (NCGG) at Princeton University for academic year 2019-2020. My research interests lie in international and comparative political economy, focusing on the consequences of economic integration. My book project, The Chains That Bind: Global Value Chain Integration and Currency Conflict, argues that global production decisions over the previous 25 years have undercut the benefits of running a depreciated exchange rate. The book provides a political explanation for the recent disappearance of currency manipulation as viable strategy for export-led growth, as well as the development of a de facto optimum currency area within the European Union.

- In the fall of 2018 I joined the Department of Political Science at Washington University in St. Louis as a Postdoctoral Research Associate for a one-year term. I received my Ph.D. in Political Science from the University of California, Los Angeles, M.Sc. in Economics from Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, M.A. in Politics from New York University, and B.A. in Political Science from DePaul University. In 2013, I interned at the World Trade Organization in Geneva where I was a contributor to the 2014 World Trade Report.
