Welcome!

I am a Ph.D. candidate in the Department of Political Science at Binghamton University, expected to graduate in December 2025. My major is comparative politics, and my minor is international relations. 

My research interests include ethnic conflict, minority rights, displacement, conflict management, and international security.

Regionally, I focus on Europe, with a focus on Post-Communist and Southern Europe.

My research primarily explores how states govern ethnic diversity. My dissertation examines the determinants of state minority policies in new European democracies. To learn more about my dissertation project, please visit: Dissertation.

My research has been published in Nationalism and Ethnic Politics and Nations and Nationalism. Several additional manuscripts are in preparation for submission to peer-reviewed journals.

At Binghamton, I have taught Python for political data analysis and developed instructional tutorials for classroom use.
