Welcome! I am an Assistant Professor of Finance at the University of Oregon Lundquist College of Business. I received my PhD in Finance from the UCLA Anderson School of Management.
Research Interests: Behavioral Finance • Household Finance • Asset Pricing • Retirement Savings • Sustainable Finance
My research studies how investors adapt to changing information, technological, and institutional environments, and how these responses shape portfolio choice and asset prices. I am interested in the frictions and incentives that influence investment behavior, as well as the broader market implications of these decisions. Combining finance theory with empirical analysis, my work connects investor behavior to asset pricing and financial market dynamics.
