Welcome
Greetings! I am an Associate Professor in the Political Science department at the University of Iowa. I received my Ph.D. from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in 2015, specializing in International Relations and Political Methodology. My primary substantive research agenda focuses on the effectiveness of international mediation and diplomatic intervention in intrastate wars. Other current projects explore the evolution of cooperation between combatants in civil wars. Methodologically, my research develops and applies social network techniques to the study of international conflict. I teach undergraduate and graduate courses in international relations and research methodology.
In addition to teaching and research, I enjoy traveling and spending as much time as possible outdoors. The banner photos above capture a few of my favorite outdoor moments: a river near Mindo, Ecuador; the Staatsoper in Vienna; a view of Mamelodi, South Africa from a nearby mountaintop; one of the world’s tallest active volcanoes, Cotopaxi; and, of course, Carolina in the spring. |
