Welcome

I am a postdoctoral fellow at the Stanford Institute for Economic Policy Research (2026–27). I will join Stanford University as an Assistant Professor of Economics in July 2027.

My primary research field is industrial organization, including work on innovation and health. I received a BA from the University of Wisconsin–Madison in 2019, a PhD in economics from MIT in 2025, and was previously a postdoctoral fellow at the Cowles Foundation at Yale University.

Update (Sep 2026): I’m hiring two undergraduate students at Stanford to work on projects with me about industrial organization, innovation, and health. If you’re interested, see the SIEPR Undergraduate Research Fellows Program.
