Welcome! I am an Assistant Professor of Political Science in the School of Social Sciences at Singapore Management University. Prior to joining SMU, I was a Postdoctoral Fellow in Contemporary Asia at the Walter H. Shorenstein Asia-Pacific Research Center at Stanford University. I completed my PhD in the Department of Government at Cornell University in 2018.
I research party building, electoral competition, and political representation in newly democratic and authoritarian regimes. In upcoming work, I focus on the subnational politics of climate change and the salience of climate change in political discourse. I have a regional focus on Southeast Asia, and have conducted extensive fieldwork across both Indonesia (since 2009) and Malaysia (since 2013). I have also worked as a consultant and researcher for a variety of organizations, including the Asia Foundation, the International Crisis Group, the Australian National University, and the Carter Center. For more information about my research and publications, please see my CV. |
