I am Assistant Professor of Political Science at the University of California, Santa Barbara where I direct the Data-driven Analysis of Peace Project (DAPP) lab. My research looks at how domestic political considerations shape the conduct of international interventions in fragile settings. I also conduct research on how foreign policy shapes public opinion in democracies, specifically as related to intervention in civil wars abroad.
