PhD, University of Pennsylvania, 2021

Assistant Professor of Economics, United States Naval Academy

My research is in the area of microeconomic theory. I am particularly interested in contract theory, mechanism design, matching, and games of incomplete information.

This semester, I am teaching three class sections of Game Theory (SE450). Next semester, I will be visiting the Department of Economics at the University of Pennsylvania, where I will be teaching one section of Game Theory (ECON4100).

Since joining USNA in Fall 2021, I have taught three class sections per semester, including courses in Game Theory (SE450), Industrial Organization (FE461), Mathematical Methods for Economics (SM275), and a Capstone Research Seminar in Microeconomic Theory (SE475). As a PhD student at UPenn, I taught Intermediate Microeconomics (ECON101).
