Welcome!

I am a Ph.D. candidate in the Department of Political Science at Binghamton University. My major is comparative politics, and my minor is international relations. I am on the 2025-2026 academic job market!

My research interests include ethnic politics, ethnic conflict, state minority policies, nation-building, and conflict management.

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. 

I am also committed to open source and regularly share code and resources on my GitHub.
