Bio:
I am a Peter B. Kenen Fellow in the International Economics Section at Princeton University (2024-2025). Since May 2023, I have been a Research Economist at the Research and Statistics department of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. My research interests lie in the areas of economic growth & technical change, international trade, and economic history.
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.
This webpage includes my recent economics research papers. To find out more about my current work and past research in machine learning and neuroscience, you can see my Google Scholar profile here: Google Scholar Profile.
