I am a historian of the global modern built environment with an emphasis on Asian architecture and urban culture. Currently, I am an assistant professor at the School of Architecture, Syracuse University and was most recently a fellow at the International Institute of Asian Studies in Leiden and the Freiburg Institute for Advanced Studies at the Albert-Ludwigs-Universität, Freiburg. My writing has appeared in the Journal of the Society of Architectural Historians, Fabrications: the Journal of the Society of Architectural Historians of Australia and New Zealand, the Journal of Urban History, Traditional Dwellings and Settlements Review, and Senses and Society. I received my PhD in the History of Architecture and Urban Development from Cornell University in 2012.
