During the 2025-2026 academic year, I was an NBER Postdoctoral Research Associate for the Startup Cartography Project (Jorge Guzman, Scott Stern, Catherine Fazio).
I received my PhD in Applied Economics from Cornell University and was a visiting student at the Department of Economics at Yale University from 2023-2025 hosted by Prof. Samuel Kortum.
My primary fields are International and Spatial Economics; Urban Economics; and Innovation and Entrepreneurship.
I leverage large-scale microdata and quantitative spatial models to study:
- the geography of innovation and entrepreneurship; and
- how urban form shapes and is influenced by the spatial distribution of economic activity.
