I am an Assistant Professor (Teaching) of Economics at the University of Southern California.

My research lies at the intersection of applied microeconomics, with a focus on the Economics of Education, Market Design, and Industrial Organization. I use a range of empirical methods, including causal inference, structural modeling, computation, and machine learning, to study how individuals and institutions make decisions, particularly in educational and other policy-relevant settings. 

I am passionate about teaching and applying machine learning techniques in economics, especially for causal inference in policy-relevant settings. I organize a weekly reading group, ML in Economics,  for undergrads and master's students.

I received my Ph.D. in Economics from Columbia University in 2022.
