I am an Assistant Professor of Law at Santa Clara University School of Law. My teaching and research interests include international law and courts, international humanitarian law, foreign relations law, and civil procedure. My current research projects broadly examine how international norms, law, and institutions affect both state and non-state behavior–if at all. Specifically, my subject areas of interest include exit from international institutions; arming and arms control; governance of military activities in outer- and cyberspace; and appellate procedures in international courts and tribunals.I hold a Ph.D. from USC’s Political Science and International Relations (POIR) program; a J.D. and LL.M. in International and Comparative Law from Cornell Law School; and a B.A. in Philosophy and Political Science from USC. I also have over ten years of experience as a civil litigator in courts throughout California. During my years of practice, I provided immigration and naturalization services pro bono with the Public Law Center in Southern California.
