I'm a postdoctoral fellow at the HBS AI Institute, Harvard Business School. My PIs are Eva Ascarza and Ayelet Israeli.
My research focuses on digital platforms. I investigate how platform design and platform-mediated interactions affect consumer behavior, firm decision-making, and market performance, primarily in the context of online sports gambling and digital advertising.
Outside of research, I enjoy waking up at 4:30 am to go row on the Charles River.
