Welcome!

I’m a PhD student in Economics at UC Berkeley. I specialize in:

  • Industrial Organization

  • Applied Economic Theory

I’m broadly interested in problems related to:

  • Digital platforms

  • Regulation under information asymmetry and contractual frictions

  • Inequality-aware market design

  • Economics of AI

Prior to Berkeley, I was a research fellow at Stanford Law School (2022-2024), where I worked on projects in law and economics and led the development of the Lanterman Fair Hearing Smart Search Tool.

You can find my research here.

What’s New:

July 2026: I presented at SAET 2026 in Rio de Janeiro on July 17, 2026.

May 2026: Check out my new working paper on how to optimally regulate social media platforms.
