I'm a PhD student in Economics at the University of Edinburgh. I will be a visiting PhD student at Universitat Pompeu Fabra (UPF) in autumn 2025. I'm on the 25/26 job market. 

My research interests are in Behavioral, Experimental, and Development Economics. I am interested in how complexity affects decision-making in different areas. Recently, I have been exploring strategic sophistication in decision-making, focusing on how complexity affects level-k reasoning. I also care about topics in development economics, particularly inequality.
