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 The Review of International Organizations, Environmental Politics, Environmental Research Letters, International Studies Quarterly, Journal of Peace Research, Business & Politics, Global Studies Quarterly, 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).
