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.

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).
