About
I am a Research Fellow at the Hoover Institution at Stanford University and hold a Ph.D. in Economics from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.

My research lies at the intersection of international finance and economic development, with a particular focus on emerging markets and developing economies (EMDEs). I study how financial markets, private capital, and public policy interact to shape investment, economic development, and financial stability.

My current research focuses on three related areas: (1) private capital mobilization and investment in emerging markets; (2) infrastructure and development finance, including the economic and social returns to infrastructure, energy, and climate-related investment; and (3) macro-financial vulnerabilities and financial stability, including corporate distress, non-bank financial institutions, and financial contagion.

My research combines macroeconomic modeling, econometric analysis, and project-, firm-, and investor-level data. I have collaborated with researchers and policymakers at institutions including the Bank of England, Central Bank of Uruguay, the World Bank, and the National University of Singapore Credit Research Initiative (NUS-CRI).
