Ph.D. Economics
Boston University
Welcome! I received my Ph.D. in Economics from Boston University in the Spring of 2025. I specialize in decision theory and behavioral economics. My specific interests lie in modeling nonstandard preference for information. Driven by a passion for uncovering the mathematical underpinnings of economic behavior, I strive to answer the fundamental question: "What are people doing?"
Alongside my research, I am deeply passionate about teaching. I believe that economic thinking is an invaluable skill, naturally emerging from everyday life situations. Through my teaching, I aim to help students discover their own innate economic thinking abilities and demonstrate that understanding complex economic concepts is much easier and more exciting than classrooms and textbooks make it seem.
