I am an Assistant Professor (tenure-track) in the Department of Economics at Trinity College Dublin. I received my Ph.D. from Cornell University in 2025.

My research interests are in labor and development economics.

My research primarily examines the causes and effects of firms' labor market power, a key source of income inequality, by leveraging various shocks, including technological change, labor market policies, trade and capital liberalization, and infrastructure investments. I also study topics to understand and inform policies that improve the well-being of vulnerable communities, particularly women and children, in developing countries.
