I specialize in international relations, and my research and teaching interests focus on international security, international cooperation, and the geopolitics of energy. You can find further information about my past and current research projects, as well as my teaching interests and experience, on this website.

I was previously a Stanton Nuclear Security Fellow at the Council on Foreign Relations, and a U.S. Foreign Policy and International Security Fellow at Dartmouth College's Dickey Center for International Understanding. I hold a Ph.D. in Political Science from Columbia University.
