I'm a Senior Data Scientist - ML/AI for LinkedIn. I'm also an Adjunct Senior Research Fellow with the Economics Department at Monash University. I finished my Ph.D. in economics at the University of California, Berkeley.


At LinkedIn, I build experimentation and causal/ML tools that help product management, AI and engineering teams better and more quickly understand the impact of our ramps on member value. My academic research fields are Microeconomic Theory, Finance, Industrial Organization, Social and Economic Networks, and Experimental Economics. Topics that my coauthors and I have studied span information in markets, word-of-mouth communication, trade and intermediation, auctions, bargaining, and charitable giving.
