Thank you for visiting my website!
I am an Assistant Professor of Political Science at the Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy at the National University of Singapore. I completed my PhD in Political Science at Duke University.
My main research interest centers on the Comparative Politics of Southeast Asia. I have a primary substantive interest in political history/historical political economy, colonialism and nationalism, and state-building. My work is published or forthcoming in outlets such as The Journal of Politics, Comparative Political Studies, The Journal of Public Economics, Electoral Studies, Party Politics, and the Journal of East Asian Studies.
I teach graduate level courses on Nation-Buidling and Southeast Asian Politics, and have taught undergraduate courses on the Political Economy of Development and Southeast Asian Politics.
