I am an Economics PhD candidate at the University of Virginia with interests in macroeconomics and econometrics.
I’m currently working on questions related to monetary policy, expectation formation, and AI. I am also thinking about methodology for assessing sensitivity to identification assumptions and for solving to macroeconomic models with deep learning.
I will be spending the summer at the Federal Reserve Board as a Dissertation Fellow and will be on the 2026-2027 job market.
