PhD Candidate in Economics

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. I am fortunate to be advised by Florian Gunsilius (Emory) and Kaspar Wuthrich (Michigan). My research interests are in econometric theory and applied econometrics. My current research agenda tackles empirically relevant issues arising in causal inference, treatment choice, and nonparametric welfare analysis.

I will be on the 2026/2027 job market and I am available for interviews.
