I have been invited to present his works, among others, at the Wissenschaftskolleg, Berlin, Yale Law School, Emory Law School, the Harvard-Stanford International Faculty Forum, Illinois-Princeton-UCLA Annual Comparative Law Workshop, and the Inaugural NUS Asian Comparative Law Workshop.

Drawing on empirical and analytical methods, he is studying how branches of government hold themselves internally accountable. My immediate projects include a series of empirical studies on the Supreme Court of India, and monographs on executive legislation in parliamentary and presidential systems.
