Welcome! I am an Assistant Professor of Finance at UCLA Anderson School of Management. I obtained my PhD in Finance from UT-Austin.
My research examines how financial institutions, market structure, and government interventions interact to shape outcomes in the real economy. These questions lie at the intersection of banking, industrial organization, household and corporate finance, and macroeconomics. My recent work focuses on the changing landscape of financial intermediation, including the rise of financial technology and the interplay between banks and non-bank financial institutions, as well as their implications for regulation, policy, and economic performance.
