Welcome to my webpage. I am a Professor in the Department of Economics at the Carlos Alvarez College of Business, The University of Texas at San Antonio. My main interest is to inform the design of economic institutions with regularities observed in laboratory experiments and empirical data. I am particularly interested in common-ownership resource allocation problems; examples of these are partnership dissolution, school choice, fair division, and rent division. I am also interested in Market Design, Algorithmic Game Theory, and Computational Fair Division.
I co-designed, with Anastasia Zervou, xQuant@ACOB, a project to Expand Quantitative Business Master's programs at The Alvarez College of Business. I serve as the project's Steering Committee Chair and Academic Director. xQuant@ACOB was selected for funding by the U.S. Department of Education through a 2.8M (2024-29) PPOHA Grant.
I also serve as the Graduate Advisor of Record and Program Director for the M. Sc. in Economics and the M.Sc. in Business Research at UTSA. You can find more information about the programs at: https://business.utsa.edu/programs/
