Biography

I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of Political Science and a Member of the Committee on Global Thought, Saltzman Institute of War and Peace Studies, and the South Asia Institute at Columbia University.  Previously, I was a Fellow at the Niehaus Center for Globalization and Governance at Princeton University.  I received my Ph.D. (with Departmental and University Distinction) in Political Science from Yale University.

My research interests span international and comparative political economy, with a focus on the politics of economic policymaking and identity.  Substantively, I work on trade, migration, and climate change policymaking.  I have a regional specialization in India, which I study in comparative perspective with other democratic emerging economies.

Prior to my Ph.D., I was a Senior Analyst and Research Associate at Cornerstone Research, an economics and finance research firm.  I have experience working on complex regulatory disputes related to securities, valuation, and corporate governance.

I graduated in 2006 from Williams College, where I majored in Economics and Political Science (Honors) and conducted research as a Williams College Undergraduate Research Fellow.  During 2005-2006, I studied at Exeter College at the University of Oxford as part of the Williams-Exeter Program at Oxford.
