I am an associate professor of economics (with tenure) at the University of Notre Dame (Indiana, USA), where I am also a concurrent faculty of statistics and a faculty fellow at the Kellogg Institute.
My fields are econometrics and applied microeconomics, and my research focus is on causal inference, models with discontinuities, and resampling methods.
On sabbatical leave during the AY 2025-2026: currently visiting Georgetown.
