I am a Ph.D. candidate in Economics at the University at Albany, State University of New York. 

My research lies at the intersection of econometrics, finance, and macroeconomics, with a particular emphasis on applying and developing machine learning methods for forecasting and inference in high-dimensional data. This agenda addresses challenges in financial markets and macroeconomic analysis while contributing to the advancement of quantitative methods in finance and economics.

Beyond research, I am committed to becoming a teacher-scholar who values rigorous scholarship and dedicated teaching in equal measure.
