I am the Andrew W. Mellon Associate Professor at the Johns Hopkins School of Advanced International Studies (SAIS) in Washington, DC. I recently completed a tenure as Senior Economist for Industrial Strategy on the White House Council of Economic Advisers, where I covered industrial policy, trade, and supply chain resilience.

My research examines how the resurgence of industrial policy—particularly in clean energy sectors—is reshaping the global economy. I study how governments and businesses navigate trade-offs between economic competitiveness, supply chain resilience, and decarbonization. I am particularly interested in the political and economic forces driving industrial policy decisions, competitive positioning in emerging and legacy industries, and how firms respond strategically to rapidly evolving markets and policy interventions. This work has been recognized with the International Studies Association's Best Book in IPE Award and the American Political Science Association's Best Book on Science, Technology, and Politics Award.

My book Collaborative Advantage: Forging Green Industries in the New Global Economy (Oxford University Press 2021) examines how China’s rise in clean energy sectors is changing innovation and production in the global economy. I advise governments, international organizations, and companies on industrial policy, supply chain strategy, and strategic responses to changes in global trade policy.

I hold a PhD in Political Economy from MIT. My research and consulting work spans North America, Europe, and Asia.
