I am an American postdoctoral researcher in the Sociology Department at Princeton University and an adjunct researcher at the RAND Corporation, a US think tank.

My research focuses on industrial policy, clean technology, and infrastructure in China and India. My work has been published in peer-reviewed academic journals, including Current Sociology, Asian Survey, and the Chinese Journal of Sociology.

I have testified as an expert before the U.S.-China Commission.
