I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of Political Science at the University of Victoria. My research currently focuses on the politics of technology sovereignty, and I teach courses in international relations and political economy. More broadly, my research interests include ideologies and identities in world politics, economic nationalism, and international order contestation. My work has been published in International Organization, Review of International Political Economy, Competition & Change, Finance & Space, Centre for International Governance Innovation, and Policy Options.

I was previously a Faculty Lecturer at McGill University, SSHRC Postdoctoral Fellow at the University of Waterloo where I was also affiliated with the Balsillie School of International Affairs, and a Niehaus Fellow at Princeton University. During my doctoral research I was also a Junior Visiting Fellow at the Graduate Institute of Geneva. I hold a PhD in Government from Cornell University, an MA in political science from McGill University, and a BA from the University of British Columbia.
