About Me

I’m a legal scholar and political scientist, currently serving as Associate Professor of Law at Columbia Law School.

Broadly, my research uses tools from the social sciences to study the strategic interactions between economic, legal, and political actors in both private and public institutions, focusing on the intersection between business, law, and politics.

My research has been published or is forthcoming in both law reviews and peer-reviewed journals, including the American Political Science Review, Journal of Law, Economics, and Organization, Yale Law Journal, Columbia Law Review, Iowa Law Review, University of Pennsylvania Journal of Constitutional Law, and Fordham Journal of Corporate & Financial Law. It has also been covered in popular outlets including The New York Times, Financial Times, Axios, and Semafor, and I have appeared on CNN to discuss it.

Before entering academia, I was an associate at Cravath, Swaine & Moore LLP, a law clerk to Chief Justice Leo E. Strine, Jr. at the Delaware Supreme Court, and the inaugural Millstein Public Service Fellow with the U.S. Senate Committee on Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs. I have a B.A. from Middlebury College, J.D. from Columbia Law School, and M.A. from Princeton University, and I will defend my Ph.D. dissertation at Princeton University this August.
