I am an Assistant Teaching Professor in the Department of Economics at the University of Washington. My research studies how financial frictions and distortions propagate through production networks, with further work on trade infrastructure and migration policy. My current work focuses on:
Defaultable trade credit and the welfare cost of financing in production networks
Nonlinear aggregation in distorted production-network economies
Trade chokepoints, infrastructure investment, and refugee settlement policy
I received my Ph.D. in Economics from the Vancouver School of Economics, University of British Columbia, in 2024. Before joining UW, I was an economist with the Government of British Columbia, where I worked on trade policy and tariff analysis.
