I am a sociologist and social demographer in training in the Department of Sociology, Cornell University and Cornell Population Center. Focusing on international migration, I am interested in ethnic minority and immigrant integration and segregation, and sociological methodology focusing on sequence analysis, causal inference and social network analysis. Most of my work focuses on Japan and the United States. CV here.

My empirical work focuses on (1) causes and consequences of residential segregation in new destinations, (2) the effects of educational credentials and educational mobility in both traditional and new destinations, and (3) the effects of premigration selectivity on immigrant integration. I am interested in both between group and within group heterogeneity.

My methodological interests lie in (1) the effects of sequences on social outcomes combining sequence analysis and causal inference, and (2) the feature of social networks on segregation using agent-based modeling and simulation.
