I am a Boas Assistant Professor at Northwestern University, under the mentorship of Yuchen Liu.
I got my Ph.D. from Princeton University, advised by János Kollár and Joaquín Moraga. Previously I completed my Undergraduate and Master's Student at Pontificia Universidad Católica, advised by Giancarlo Urzúa.
Here is my CV
