I'm thrilled to announce I've just signed the offer for a tenure-track Assistant Professor position at Texas Tech, starting in January!

I feel incredibly lucky to continue working with such a supportive department and to keep expanding the DARE lab.

Thank y'all!

🚨 New JAS paper! 🚨 We modeled #Qin / #Han wall construction using #rstats + #QuartoPub to show collapse wasn’t just about cost—logistics broke the system. Supplying 350k+ forced migrants likely strained >30% of the Qin state’s population. #Archaeology
