In 2024, he received the first-place Paul Volcker Junior Scholar Research Award from the American Political Science Association.
His work has been published in leading public management and policy journals, including the Journal of Public Administration Research and Theory, Public Administration Review, Policy Studies Journal, and Public Management Review, among others.
