I am an international relations scholar specialising in international security and the politics of international order. My research examines how power, institutions, and economic relationships shape interstate competition, with particular interests in rising powers, economic security, hierarchy, and the governance of subordinate states. My work combines quantitative analysis with comparative historical research to investigate the causes of conflict and cooperation in world politics. My research has been published in the Journal of Conflict Resolution and is forthcoming in Security Studies. You can find details of my research, teaching, publications, and current projects throughout this website.
