I am an Assistant Professor of Economics at Northeastern University. I received my PhD in Econometrics and Statistics from the University of Chicago Booth School of Business.

My research focuses on econometric methods for causal inference in modern data settings with dependence, high dimensionality, and complex treatment dynamics, with work spanning statistical inference with dependent data, policy evaluation with spillovers and dynamic treatments, and machine learning for causal inference.

For further details, please see my CV and Google Scholar page.
