I am the David M. Knott Professor of Global Politics and International Relations at the Department of Political Science at the University of Pennsylvania.

My research is in applied political economy, with a substantive focus on governance, migration and forced displacement, human trafficking, and conflict processes, (mostly) in the context of developing countries.

I am the founder and co-director of Penn’s Development Research Initiative (PDRI-DevLab). Launched in 2020, PDRI-DevLab brings together faculty and graduate students from across Penn whose research seeks to identify solutions to the challenges facing low- and middle-income countries. PDRI seeks to foster impactful international development research by harnessing the expertise of its affiliates from various disciplines and utilizing diverse methodological approaches.

My work has appeared in Science, Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, Science Advances, the American Political Science Review, the American Journal of Political Science, International Organization, and the Journal of Politics, among other journals.
