PhD Student, Public Policy & Political Science, University of Michigan

Hello! I am a PhD student in Public Policy & Political Science at the University of Michigan's Ford School.

I study political economy and political behavior, with a focus on the energy transition. I'm currently interested in how voters, firms, and governments bargain over disruptive infrastructure projects. I enjoy collecting big data sets from difficult sources, ranging from government archives to local news to social media.

I am currently affiliated with the Climate Politics Lab at Michigan and Free Systems at the Stanford Graduate School of Business.
