I earned a joint PhD in business and international political economy at the University of Wisconsin–Madison. My research interests include international political economy, foreign investment, and political risk management.
- The intersection of business and political conflict

I am willing to supervise projects related to political risk, risk management, foreign direct investment, MNC behavior, international organizations, political violence or international relations/ management more broadly. Developed research plans and rough ideas are equally welcome.
