Bio:
I am a Research Economist at the Research and Statistics department of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. My research studies different long-run drivers of economic change, including the innovation activity of firms, technological breakthroughs, transformations in the consumption patterns of households, and globalization. I joined the New York Fed in 2023, and currently also serve as a research affiliate at the MIT FutureTech Lab.
In the 2024-2025 academic year, I was the Peter B. Kenen Fellow in the International Economics Section at Princeton University. From 2018 to 2023, I was an assistant professor of economics and international studies at Boston College, holding the White Family assistant professorship chair between 2020 and 2023. I was a Shoven/SIEPR Young Scholar at Stanford University (2021-2022), and a Cowles Foundation postdoctoral associate at the Yale University (2017-2018).
I completed a PhD degree at the Harvard economics department in 2017. Prior to that, I obtained a PhD degree at the MIT Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL), where I worked on a number of applications of machine learning techniques in neuroimaging and cognitive neuroscience. I received MSc and BSc degrees from the University of Tehran, Iran.
