I am Associate Professor of Quantitative Political Science Research Methods at Nuffield College and the University of Oxford. Before joining Nuffield, I served as an Assistant Professor of Political Science at the University of California, Davis. I hold a PhD in political science from the University of California, Berkeley, and was a Postdoctoral Prize Fellow in Politics at Nuffield.

I am a Postdoctoral Fellow at Oxford's Department of Politics and International Relations and a Deterrence Futures Fellow at the Royal United Services Institute. I was previously a Stanton Nuclear Postdoctoral Fellow at MIT, where I was affiliated with the Security Studies Program. While I have a variety of research interests, my work primarily concerns the causes and consequences of states' military procurement choices and the effect of these choices on alliance politics.
