About me

I study the political economy of climate change, with a focus on how international institutions and public opinion shape climate policy.

I am a Ph.D. student in the Department of Government at Harvard University. My research examines the linkages between international politics and domestic environmental politics and policies — including how international political economy, institutions, and global norms influence political behavior on climate change, and vice versa. I am a graduate affiliate of Harvard’s Institute for Quantitative Social Science (IQSS), the Center for American Political Studies (CAPS), and the Center for International Development (CID).

In May 2024, I completed my Master’s in International Public Affairs at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, as an Energy Analysis and Policy Scholar. I was a researcher at the University’s Climate Action Lab and worked on projects on the energy transition and climate justice. In May 2022, I completed a Dual Bachelor’s at Sciences Po and the National University of Singapore, where I did a research stint at the Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy.

Outside the academy, I enjoy biking, bouldering, and playing board games.
