Welcome to my website! I'm a student jointly pursuing a JD at Yale Law School and a PhD in the Yale Department of Economics. My interests lie in the macroeconomic, labor market, and regulatory implications of powerful AI systems. I also work on topics in time series analysis and econometrics.
I previously worked as a Board Advisor at the Central Bank of Argentina (BCRA) and as a Research Analyst at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York (FRBNY), where I was in the Financial Stability Division. I have a BA in Economics – Mathematics from Columbia University, Summa cum Laude.
I am an avid marathon runner and mountain climber.
