I am an Assistant Professor of Political Science at the School of Politics, Economics and Global Affairs at IE University. I earned my PhD in Political Science at Rice University with a focus in International Relations in 2026. My research investigates the impact of digital technology on international security. I study how technology can facilitate the emergence of security threats from non-state actors and how state actors can cooperate to mitigate these threats. I leverage original data collection, large-N observational analysis, large language models, machine learning (deep transfer learning), and experimental designs to conduct this research.
I hold a Master’s degree in Public Affairs from the University of Texas LBJ School of Public Affairs and a BA in Political Science from Southwestern University.
