I am a Postdoctoral Associate at the Division of Social Science in New York University Abu Dhabi. I am interested in commitment problems as a major source of friction in international relations. In my dissertation, I have focused on how reputational incentives alleviate commitment problems, pertaining to conflict or cooperation, when states' priorities and abilities are subject to change. More broadly, my theoretical work contributes to questions of how commitment problems emerge, how they lead to inefficient conflict or breakdown of cooperation, how they relate to information problems, and how they can be overcome. My empirical work tests the implications of these theories in both conflict and IPE contexts. I am also interested in these questions in domestic settings, particularly with regard to institutional formation and political violence.
