I am a Marketing Ph.D. student at Tepper School of Business, Carnegie Mellon University.
Prior to joining CMU, I received my bachelor’s degree from UC Berkeley and finished my pre-doc at Stanford University.
My current research interests are in digital marketing, technology and innovation, and the intersection of machine learning and economics, including causal inference, applying structured economic models to unstructured data, and interpretable machine learning.
