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

I am an applied microeconomist specializing in the Economics of Education, Market Design, and Industrial Organization, with a particular emphasis on empirical school choice.

My research combines design-based reduced-form analysis with tools from empirical IO and market design to uncover insights into students' decision-making processes throughout their academic journeys. 

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

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