My research sits at the intersection of Indo-Pacific strategic behavior, U.S. economic exposure, and the institutional gaps that leave American policymakers and businesses operating without an accurate picture of either.
Critical supply chains across the Indo-Pacific — rare earths, semiconductors, clean-energy components, pharmaceuticals — concentrate exposure in a small number of jurisdictions. Most American firms cannot describe their Tier-2 and Tier-3 vulnerability with specificity. I map it using multilingual open-source research across the region and scenario analysis, before a crisis forces the question.
Beijing's influence campaigns are broader, more sophisticated, and more patient than Western audiences typically understand. I track them across diaspora networks, academic institutions, and political systems throughout the Indo-Pacific and the United States — identifying the narrative, the mechanics, and the strategic intent: why Beijing needs you to believe it.
The Indo-Pacific is where America's commitments most outrun its capacity. My work tracks the military, economic, and political dimensions of competition across the theater — Taiwan, the Korean peninsula, the South China Sea, alliance architecture, partner-nation dynamics — focused on the gap between what Washington has promised and what it can sustain.
