Welcome! I am a Stanton Nuclear Security Postdoctoral Fellow at the Center for International Security and Cooperation at Stanford University. My research interests are in crisis escalation, coercive diplomacy, and security in the Asia Pacific, with a focus on China, the United States, and the Korean peninsula.

My book project, which builds on my doctoral dissertation, explains and demonstrates the distinctive escalatory dangers of provocation in interstate crises. More on my research can be found here.
