I am an assistant professor of political science at the Rockefeller College of Public Affairs and Policy, University at Albany-State University of New York (SUNY). I am also a Nonresident Fellow at the Stimson Center. 

My research interests include political violence, political behavior, the politics of religion and ethnicity, voters and foreign policy, and the politics of South Asia. I am currently working on my book manuscript which examines why political parties in Pakistan engage in violence and the variation in violence strategies that they employ. My work has been published or is forthcoming in the American Political Science Review, Party Politics, Conflict Management and Peace Science, Foreign Policy Analysis, Politics & Religion, the Oxford Handbook of Politics in Muslim Societies, and Oxford Encyclopedia of Politics & Religion, among others. My Conflict Management and Peace Science article received the 2020 Glenn Palmer Prize from the Peace Science Society.  I also have a co-edited volume on political parties in Pakistan published by Georgetown University Press (available here) and Folio Books (available here).  

​
My work has received generous support from Innovations for Poverty Action, the U.S. Institute of Peace, Stimson Center, the American Institute of Pakistan Studies, Institute of Development and Economic Alternatives, and several centers at the University at Albany, State University of New York and Yale University.

I previously worked at the International Crisis Group  and the International Organization for Migration in Islamabad and the American Civil Liberties Union  in New York. I have a PhD in Political Science from Yale University, an M.A. in International Relations from the Johns Hopkins School of Advanced International Studies, and a B.A. in English from Haverford College.
