About me

I am a first-year Ph.D. student in Economics at Yale University. I’m broadly interested in macroeconomics and economic development.

My current research focuses on the interaction between incomplete market frictions and financial technologies in developing economies.

Previously, I worked as a predoctoral research fellow at Harvard University with Prof. Melissa Dell on deep learning methods and its application in economic history and political economy. I hold a B.A. in Economics and Computer Science from University of California, Berkeley.
