About

I study the causes and consequences of problems within globalization, particularly in relation to civil societies, democracies, and international security (e.g., the U.S.-China relations, the international order). My research bridges economics with non-economic fields which also include technology and innovation, and social norms. I use a combination of quantitative and qualitative methods, including causal inference, survey, and game theory, to uncover underlying stories.

I am affiliated with the Institute for Quantitative Social Sciences (IQSS) at Harvard. I used to work in tech companies such as Cisco Systems as a research engineer on operating systems and data performance.

I believe in the power of political communication and public engagement as a public good. I in spare time run an educational YouTube channel that explains otherwise obscure political and economic knowledge to the public of a region, and I’ve been fortunate to attract over 500,000 subscribers and tens of millions of views.
