Economist studying markets, decision-making, and AI
Chicago, Illinois
About
I am an economist with a PhD in Economics from Rice University and an MS in Computer Science from Georgia Tech. I combine industrial organization, econometrics, causal inference, and machine learning to study healthcare markets, consumer choice, and the economics of AI.
I am currently a research fellow in the Supervised Program for Alignment Research (SPAR), studying demand for AI models with Pavel Kocourek. Previously, I was an Associate at Cornerstone Research (January 2025–September 2026) and an Economist Intern at Amazon Retail Pricing.
