Welcome! I am a fourth-year Ph.D. candidate at the Department of Political Science of the University of Minnesota with a specialization in comparative politics and political methodology. My research broadly focuses on government-business relations in authoritarian regimes as well as cronyism and corruption. Regionally, I am interested in Turkey, the Middle East, and Eastern and Central Europe.
