About
I am currently a Lecturer in Politics in the Department of European & International Studies at King's College London. I received my Ph.D. in Government from Harvard University.
My research has been published in leading academic journals such as the Socio-Economic Review, Comparative Political Studies, Governance, Regulation & Governance and European Union Politics.
I am currently finishing a monograph, Trust on Trial: Coordination Rights, Competition Law and the Making of Modern Capitalism, that explores the role of competition law in the long term development of industrial capitalism in Western Europe and the United States.
I have extensive experience working as a policy practitioner in both domestic and international contexts,
and remain an active participant in contemporary public policy debates.
In my spare time, I enjoy traveling, hiking and volunteering as an election observer with the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe.
