Ph.D. Candidate in Political Science at Stanford
home.I am a PhD candidate in Political Science at Stanford University. I am broadly interested in the political economy of elections. In particular, my research investigates how electoral institutions shape legislative behaviour, political party organisation, and accountability towards voters. I work with Gary Cox, Jens Hainmueller, Andy Hall, and Andy Eggers.
I am a Graduate Student Affiliate at the Democracy and Polarization Lab.
Prior to coming to Stanford, I was a DPhil Student at Oxford University (Nuffield College). I hold a BA in Philosophy, Politics, and Economics (PPE) from Warwick University, and a MSc in Politics Research from Oxford University (St. Cross College).
