I am an Economist at the Federal Reserve Board and a visiting scholar at Carnegie Mellon. I completed my Ph.D. at the University of Pennsylvania under the supervision of Ken Wolpin, George Mailath and Petra Todd.

My broad research interests include empirical microeconomics and applied microeconomic theory. Currently, I am working on topics in social networks and payments.
