Biography
I am a Trice Faculty Scholar and Associate Professor of Political Science. I recently completed my Ph.D. (2012) in the Department of Government at Harvard University. My research interests are in the psychology of judgment and decision-making in foreign policy, and more broadly, in international security and experimental methods.
