Ph.D. in Economics

International Monetary Fund

Welcome to my prefessional webpage. I am an economist at the International Monetary Fund specializing in economic growth, innovation, entrepreneurship, and technology adoption. My research combines quantitative economic modeling with rigorous empirical methods to illuminate the mechanisms driving innovation, entrepreneurship, and technology choices on a macro scale.

When I am not solving models or analyzing data, I enjoy playing basketball, reading books, and listening to tech and policy podcasts.

Thank you for visiting.
