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, and matching.
Since joining USNA in Fall 2021, I have taught three class sections per semester. In Fall 2024, I will teach two sections of SM275 (Mathematical Methods for Economics) and one section of SE450 (Game Theory). In the past, I have taught a Capstone Seminar in Microeconomic Theory, Industrial Organization, and Intermediate Microeconomics.
