I'm an Assistant Professor at the International Relations Department of the London School of Economics. I research topics at the intersection of business-government relations and economic statecraft. More specifically, I focus on the use of domestic institutional tools to achieve geo-strategic ends.
I received a PhD in Government from Georgetown University and was a postdoctoral fellow at Princeton University’s Niehaus Center for Globalization and Governance for the 2020-2021 academic year. Before graduate school, I studied Philosophy, Politics, and Economics at Brown University and worked as a Research Associate at Harvard Business School. I blog on corruption and corporate power at The Price of Power.
My book, Legal Weapons of the Wealthy, examines why plutocrats from the same emerging markets sue each other in foreign courts with a focus on the Russian oligarch battles in London. It is forthcoming with Cornell University Press and is based on my project that won APSA's Edwin S. Corwin Award for the Best Dissertation in Public Law.
Between 2021 and 2025, I ranked in the top 0.1% of Fantasy Premier League players worldwide.
