As an economist, my research sits at the intersection of applied econometrics, optimization, and the economic implications of AI. My past work centered on data analytics in education, leveraging quasi‑experimental methods and predictive modeling to inform policy. Extending this foundation, my current agenda covers three interconnected areas. First, I review existing solution strategies for abstract reasoning to evaluate AI's generalization frontier. Second, I apply neural networks to forecast financial market volatility. Third, I use task‑level occupational data to analyze how generative AI reshapes labor demand and wage inequality. These projects unite rigorous identification strategies with modern computational tools.
