About Me

Welcome! I am an economics Ph.D. candidate at the University of Chicago Department of Economics. My research is at the nexus of models and data, combining structural models with original surveys, big data, and a range of machine learning, causal inference, and experimental methods.

I was a visiting scholar at the Columbia Business School from September 2023 to June 2024 and a visiting scholar at the MIT Department of Economics from January 2023 to May 2023.
