Welcome to my personal website. I received my Ph.D. in Managerial Economics and Strategy from the Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern University in June 2026. I am a 2025–2026 NBER Doctoral Dissertation Fellow.

In summer 2026, I will join the Scheller College of Business at the Georgia Institute of Technology as an Assistant Professor.

I investigate how institutions, human capital, and emerging technologies shape the creation and diffusion of knowledge. 

Advisors: Benjamin F. Jones, Dimitris Papanikolaou, Dashun Wang, Ryan Hill
