Welcome!

I am an Assistant Professor of Economics at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.

My research is in econometrics, and focuses on making economic policy decisions in the face of uncertainty.   My work includes experimental design, analysis of treatment effect heterogeneity, and estimation of personalized treatment rules and optimal policies. I enjoy applying tools from optimization and machine learning to solve econometric problems.
