I am a Ph.D. student and Raymond Vernon Fellow in Government at Harvard. I received an M.S. in Computer Science (AI concentration) and a B.A.S. with honors in Mathematical and Computational Science and International Relations from Stanford University. From 2023 to 2024, I was an honors student at the Center for International Security and Cooperation (CISAC). I have also conducted research at the Stanford Asia-Pacific Research Center (APARC), Stanford AI Lab (SAIL), and MIT LobbyView, and completed internships with the AI research teams at Samsung Electronics and Salesforce.
My research examines how global interdependence shapes national security and political economy, with a focus on how domestic interest groups influence foreign and trade policy. Methodologically, I am interested in applying causal inference and machine learning to large-scale data, as well as exploring the use of foundation models in political science.
