Welcome! I am a PhD candidate in the Government department at Cornell University.  My dissertation examines why states pursue multilateral agreements to regulate various weapons, and how the motivations for doing so affect the design of agreements. More broadly, my research explores the politics of multilateral cooperation (especially on security issues). During the 2019-2020 academic year I am a visiting fellow with the Global Governance Centre at the Graduate Institute of International and Development Studies in Geneva, Switzerland.
