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

My current research focuses on the interaction between credit access 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 completed my B.A. in Economics and Computer Science at University of California, Berkeley.
