I am a senior in Currier studying History with a secondary in Government. My main interests are the Middle Ages and legal history, and I have just completed a thesis on the Roman law of slavery in late medieval Europe. I am currently assembling a sample of English household inventories for The Documentary Archaeology of Late Medieval Europe, a digital collection of sources of material culture. As a peer advisor for the History Department, I am always delighted to entice more undergraduates to the marvelous study of the past.
Other interests include the history of political thought, art history, and all things American politics. I conduct simulation analyses of legislative redistricting at the Algorithm-Assisted Redistricting Methodology Project. In the past, I have contributed to projects which collected data on the administrative burden of state-level Medicaid programs and on migrants' access to social welfare in OECD countries.
Outside of academic work, I spend a lot of time at WHRB, mostly broadcasting classical music and stuff like Breton punk and Korean indie. I play piano and have picked up a smattering of violin, viola da gamba, and organ over the years, though I'm still a terrible singer.
After immigrating from China at age five, I lived for some years near the Twin Cities before moving to Northern Virginia. I enjoy opera, mystery novels, biking around town, and cooking.
