I'm an economist and I study topics in macroeconomics and economic growth. Currently, I am a postdoctoral fellow at the MIT Sloan and Initiative on Digital Economy’s FutureTech Lab. In 2027, I will join King’s College London as an Assistant Professor of Economics. I graduated with a PhD in Economics from the University of Chicago in Spring 2026.
