Welcome to my site. I am an international political economy (IPE) scholar working at the intersection of IPE, digital finance, and information politics. My research examines how states, markets, and digital communities negotiate authority in emerging economic and informational spaces, with a particular focus on cryptocurrency regulation, informal economies, and digital financial governance. I also study foreign influence, disinformation, and strategic narratives in international relations, especially how state actors use digital platforms to shape political meaning across borders. Across these projects, I use computational methods, including natural language processing, machine learning, and large-scale text analysis, to address problems of measurement, classification, and political interpretation.
Alongside my academic research, I previously served as a Senior Data Analyst with Global Affairs Canada’s Rapid Response Mechanism, applying these methods to detect and assess foreign information manipulation targeting Canada.
I am affiliated with the Centre for International Peace and Security Studies and I am a member of the Democracy, Transparency, Information Provision, and Participation lab, led by Prof. Aaron Erlich, a research lab affiliated with the Centre for the Study of Democracy and Citizenship in the Department of Political Science at McGill University.
Outside academia, I enjoy cycling, being an occasional musician, as well as immersing myself in the complex art-science of baking.
