About Me

Hello! Thank you for visiting my website. I am a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the University of Oxford. Before joining the University of Oxford, I was a Dissertation Fellow and Instructor of Record at Texas A&M University. I received my PhD in Political Science from Texas A&M University in 2024 and my BA in Politics & Economics from the University of Strathclyde in 2019.

My research primarily focuses on political institutions, legislative politics, executive politics, representation, and constitutions. In my doctoral dissertation, I studied the use and consequences of government-initiated votes of confidence and related features of parliamentarism. In my projects, I typically cover the major European (and some non-European) parliamentary democracies and the U.S.

My approach to the study of political science is mainly quantitative, integrated with qualitative evidence. My work has been published or is forthcoming in the The Journal of Politics, the European Political Science Review, Social Science Quarterly, and Parliamentary Affairs, among other outlets.
