I am a PhD student in Public Policy at Oregon State University, where my research explores the intersection of public policy, emerging technologies, and governance. My academic trajectory is fundamentally driven by a commitment to understanding how institutional frameworks adapt to rapid technological disruptions, with a primary focus on artificial intelligence, advanced robotics, and digital transformation. 

Operating at the dynamic boundary between the social sciences and engineering, I also serve as a Project Assistant at the OSU SHARE Lab within the Collaborative Robotics and Intelligent Systems (CORIS) Institute. In this role, I combine mixed quantitative and qualitative methodologies to investigate the policy-relevant dimensions of automation and human-robot interaction. 

My scholarly output reflects a sustained engagement with contemporary governance challenges. I have authored and co-authored numerous peer-reviewed journal articles and book chapters. My research has also crossed into interdisciplinary technical venues, featuring in IEEE conference proceedings such as the Frontiers in Education (FIE) Conference. 

I actively present my ongoing research at prominent academic convenings, including the Midwest Political Science Association (MPSA), Western Political Science Association (WPSA), and Pacific Northwest Political Science Association (PNWPSA) annual meetings. I also bring specialized training in policy analysis, having completed the Environmental Policy Accelerator at the Aspen Policy Academy and achieved regional recognition in policy simulation competitions.
