PhD Candidate in Economics

Hello! Welcome to my website.

I am a fifth-year PhD candidate in Economics, a 2026-2027 Rackham Predoctoral Fellow and previously a Lawrence Klein Fellow in Econometrics in the Department of Economics at the University of Michigan-Ann Arbor. My research interests are in causal inference, treatment choice, and nonparametric welfare analysis. I use tools from statistical optimal transport, high dimensional statistics, and nonparametric and semiparametric statistics to address empirically relevant limitations of methods used across these domains.
