I am postdoctoral researcher at the Wyss Academy for Nature at the University of Bern (Switzerland). I am broadly interested in understanding how we can improve people’s livelihoods without jeopardizing the environment. In my work, I study governance mechanisms that can help to align development and environment. I specifically focus on mechanisms related to domestic institutions, industrial policy, trade policy, and gender. My work is forthcoming or has appeared in International Studies Quarterly, Business & Politics, and International Interactions.
I completed my Ph.D. at Emory University. I also hold a Bachelor of Arts in International Affairs and Masters of Arts in International Affairs & Governance from the University of St. Gallen (Switzerland) and a Master in Global Economy and Management from Yonsei University (South Korea).
