Welcome!
I'm an assistant professor at UNC Chapel Hill.
I research on international political macroeconomics, including the Arab Spring revolutions, debt, social unrests in China, growth and climate change, inequality and sovereign debt.
My mission: to understand how we can create an equal and sustainable global economy.
