Welcome to my personal webpage! I am an economist studying economic growth, innovation, entrepreneurship, and technology adoption. In my research I combine quantitative economic modeling with rigorous empirical methods to shine light on important mechanisms driving innovation, entrepreneurship, and technology choice on the aggregate. When I am not solving models or crunching numbers, I enjoy playing basketball, reading non-fiction books, and listening to tech and policy podcasts.
