I am an Associate Professor at the Department of Economics at York University in Toronto, and a Research Fellow at IZA and RFBerlin (previously CReAM).
I am currently also a Steering Committee Member of the Canadian Labour Economics Forum (CLEF), and a Member of the John Charles Polanyi Prize Selection Committee.
My primary research field is Labor Economics, with a focus on occupational mobility, technological change, wage inequality, the task content of occupations, and firm heterogeneity. I am also interested in the relationship between aggregate business cycle conditions and individual-level human capital acquisition.
My research papers are available here; information about the courses that I teach is available here; and my CV is available here.
