I am a Postdoctoral Fellow at the Immigration Policy Lab at Stanford University and earned my PhD in Political Science from the University of California Berkeley in 2021. My research investigates how so-called fragile states cooperate with (0r contest) international efforts to mitigate suffering and improve the welfare of their residents. I investigate these issues of global concern in Sahelian and West African states, where foreign intervention has profound consequences for governance. My work has been published in the Journal of Politics, the Journal of Experimental Political Science, and PS: Political Science & Politics.

I study the politics of the global technological and scientific frontier, focusing on the political consequences of the free flow of knowledge across national borders. In my dissertation, I study the conditions under which those made obsolete by global technological change organize and undermine the ability of societies to adjust to a changing world economy. The main case in my dissertation looks at political responses to technological obsolescence from the Industrial Revolution in South Asia during the first era of globalization. Other cases include the invention of synthetic dyes by German chemists and the effects of industrial automation in the contemporary US. I also have a secondary research agenda in which I study the role of scientific consensus in international cooperation over environmental issues such as climate change.

I am a PhD candidate at NYU. I study IPE with a focus on international cooperation. My research disentangles the mechanisms of how interdependence shapes incentives in international cooperation, which affects the design, functioning, and even survival of international institutions. My job market paper examines the role of the WHO in facilitating states’ cooperation with disease outbreak reporting. It reveals that information dissemination by international organizations (IOs) to their members empowers weak IOs to induce deeper cooperation than what their resources permit. I also study how global value chains lead to the decline of international institutions and firms’ influence over trade barriers.

I am a Ph.D. Candidate and NSF Graduate Fellow in the Department of Political Science at the UC San Diego. My research explores the political economy of place-or how local economies affect policy preferences and behaviors. Guided by economic geography theories, I identify the ways in which individuals form relationships with the places they live, and quantify these relationships with spatial and machine learning measurement techniques. My research applies these to reconsider important questions in political economy: does economic exposure to trade affect globalization attitudes, and do these attitudes affect voting; does inequality affect support for redistribution?

I am a Ph.D. candidate in Political Science at Ohio State University. I specialize in IPE and political methodology, with a focus on the interdependence of economic globalization and labor markets. Using survey experiments, causal inference, and natural language processing (NLP), I investigate (1) norm diffusion and firm compliance in supply chains and (2) workers’ attitudes toward trade (especially gender gaps in trade attitudes). Before joining Ohio State, I earned my B.A. and M.A. in Political Science at Seoul National University, South Korea. My work has been supported by the Fulbright Fellowship (2016-2018) and the Presidential Fellowship at OSU (2022-2023).

Sayumi Miyano is a Ph.D. candidate in the Department of Politics at Princeton University. She studies politics of global governance, foreign direct investment, and trade. Her first set of research examines how international organizations publish information or standards under scientific uncertainty, such as in energy, environment, or technology, and how domestic political actors affect these decisions. Her second line of research considers how multinational firms exert political influence at home and abroad, what nationality means for MNCs, and more generally, the firm-state relationships under today’s extensive global value chains.

I am a Ph.D. candidate in political science at the University of Pennsylvania, and a graduate fellow at the Penn Development Research Initiative and the Kleinman Center for Energy Policy. I am interested in comparative politics and the political economy of development, with a substantive focus on environmental politics in the Global South. In my dissertation, I study the conditions under which states can facilitate a fast takeoff of clean energies, with a regional focus on Latin America. My research employs mixed methods to understand how business-state relations shape greening policies, with a regional focus on Latin America. I analyze how and when green policy reforms restructure incentives for key private-sector stakeholders in the energy sector.

I am a Ph.D. candidate and Hartley R. Rogers Dissertation Fellow in the Department of Government at Harvard University. My research focuses on the political economy of cybersecurity and internet digital globalization. My dissertation leverages novel data sources, from internet topography measurements to forensic malware analysis, to texts mapping bureaucratic delegation‚ to understand how internet-driven interdependence creates shared regulatory and security challenges, and how states develop digital institutions in response to the global internet environment. My job market paper investigates how the internet reacted to the Snowden leaks. I develop a digital dependence and risk theory, which I argue creates incentives for balancing in the internet architecture. Using internet topographical measurements, I show how networks in rival states engaged in internal digital balancing to reduce their exposure to weaponized interdependence after the Snowden leaks. Digital retrenchment also made it easier for government censors to exert digital control in these countries. However, the leaks did not cause the internet overall to become less dependent on the U.S. and U.K. I argue this demonstrates the connection between conventional security and digital risk. I have multiple papers currently under review. One piece evaluates how digital capacity building not only facilitates policy adoption in developing countries but also shapes how states institutionalize cybersecurity capacity. Another paper under review shows how data follows the flag despite digital spying among alliance members. I argue that this is because, while alliances do not prevent spying, they reduce security externalities due to digital trade. My other work under review examines public opinion and responses to cyberattacks. While at Harvard, I developed and taught my syllabus‚ Technology and Disruption in International Affairs. Before beginning my doctorate, I was a research associate for national security at the Council on Foreign Relations.

I’m a Ph.D. candidate ant NYU, focusing on IPE. My research agenda focuses on i) The effects of automation on the political power of organized labor, and its implications for public policy, ii) The role of international economic competition on elite cues and identity politics, and how the latter shape policy against globalization, iii) The effect of international trade on democratization, war and secessionism, iv) The link between climate change and anti-incumbent mobilization, peaceful and otherwise. I use game theory, economic theory and natural experiments to uncover the mechanisms and circumstances under which international economic change affects domestic politics and policy.

I am a PhD candidate in Political Science at the University of Pittsburgh. My research interests lie at the intersection of political psychology, international political economy, and party politics. I explore the determinants of citizens’ attitudes towards different facets of globalization‚ economic, political, and cultural‚ as well as the role party competition plays in shaping voters’ attitudes and parties’ strategies. I explore these topics with a regional focus on Europe and the United States, and employing experimental, observational, survey, and text analysis methodology.
