I am an Assistant Professor of political science in the School of Economic, Political and Policy Sciences, University of Texas at Dallas. I received my Ph.D in Political Science from the Department of Government, University of Essex in 2017.
My research focuses on human rights and state repression. I am particularly interested in why countries cooperate in transnational repression and measuring human rights using machine learning and text analysis. I also work on the Sub-national Analysis of Repression Project (SNARP). My research is published in International Interactions, International Studies Quarterly, Journal of Conflict Resolution, Journal of Human Rights, and Journal of Peace Research. I received the International Studies Association Human Rights Section's Best Paper Award in 2024 and the Steven C. Poe Best Graduate Student Paper Award in 2018. |
