I am a Postdoctoral Fellow in the Department of Political Science and Public Administration at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte. I received my Ph.D. in Political Science from Binghamton University (SUNY) in 2025.

My research focuses on ethnic politics, minority rights, displacement, integration, immigration policy, and conflict management, with regional expertise in Europe and the Middle East. I study how states govern diversity, including indigenous and national minorities as well as immigrants.

My book project, based on my dissertation, examines the determinants of state minority policies in new European democracies.

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

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