Welcome!

I am a Guarini Provost Postdoctoral Fellow in the Department of Government at Dartmouth College (2025–2027).

My research focuses on intergroup relations and discrimination, with special  attention to the sources of between-group and within-group conflict and the conditions under which these conflicts can be reduced. For example, my recent projects examine how prejudice among majority natives toward ethnic minority immigrants can be reduced through cross-cultural contact and assimilation, why some immigrant-origin citizens come to support restrictive anti-immigrant policies after settlement, and how diaspora return can generate conflict between returnees and co-ethnic host populations from comparative perspectives.

My regional focus includes the United States, East Asia, and Southeast Asia. Methodologically, I use mixed methods, including survey and field experiments, original survey data collection, and qualitative research.

I received my Ph.D. in Government from the University of Texas at Austin in 2025.
