Welcome! I am the Associate Director and Associate Senior Instructional Professor in the Committee on International Relations (CIR) at the University of Chicago. I hold a Ph.D. in Political Science from UChicago and a B.A/M.A. degree from Eberhard Karls Universität Tübingen.
My research and award-winning teaching focus on international political economy, international organization and networks, and the effects of artificial intelligence on graduate research practices.
I manage CIR's curricular and co-curricular programs, which now include international seminars in South and East Asia, career exploration treks to global cities in the US, an international internship program, and a PhD application clinic.
