Welcome!

 I obtained my PhD from the University at Buffalo, SUNY, in 2025. My primary research interests lie in international trade, applied econometrics, and micro-econometrics. My work explores how trade liberalization, particularly Regional Trade Agreements, shape economic outcomes, including trade growth, welfare distribution, and labor market dynamics. I employ a combination of structural and empirical gravity models to understand the broader implications of global and regional economic integration. I am passionate about teaching economics and economics-related courses. With experience leading undergraduate and graduate courses and a strong foundation in data-driven analysis, I help students connect economic principles to real-world applications across topics such as econometrics, statistics, causal inference, time series, and international trade.
