I am a Senior Researcher in Multilateralism and Global Governance at the United Nations University’s Centre for Policy Research, specializing in climate and development finance and reform of the international financial architecture. I also serve as a Visiting Fellow at Perry World House at the University of Pennsylvania and as an Adjunct Assistant Professor of History at Columbia University.

From 2022-2024, I was a Research Fellow at the International Peace Institute, where I led research on multilateral climate finance and supported small-island states in UN Climate Change negotiations. I have also worked as a consultant for the UNFCCC’s Nairobi Work Programme and served as an advisor to the Republic of Maldives on loss and damage finance. Prior to IPI, I completed postdoctoral fellowships at the University of Pennsylvania (2020-2022) and at Yale University (2018-2020), where I also taught in the History department.

My book, Global Inequality and American Foreign Policy in the 1970s (Cornell University Press, 2022), shows how demands for a New International Economic Order by developing countries challenged US grand strategy and reshaped American and global politics for years to come.

My articles have appeared in a number of academic and popular outlets, including Diplomatic History, Cold War History, Foreign Policy, and The Guardian. View my CV for a full list of publications.
