About

I am PhD Candidate of Political Science at the University of California, Davis focusing on International Relations and Comparative Politics. My research interests international security and political violence. In my dissertation, I propose a novel measure to security cooperation by creating the Security Cooperation Index (SCI).  Using the SCI, I address how cooperation amongst states impact their ability to deter militarized interstate disputes and bilateral trade flows.
