Welcome!

I’m a Phd student in Economics at the University of Chicago. My research is in econometrics.

Broadly, my interests lie in decision making in the face of uncertainty. My work focuses on experimental design and policy learning/treatment choice. I enjoy applying tools from optimization and machine learning to solve econometric problems.

I am on the 2024-2025 academic job market. My job market paper is available here. My CV is available here.
