Welcome! I'm a postdoc at the Mansueto Institute for Urban Innovation. In 2026, I will join the department of Markets, Public Policy & Law at Boston University as an assistant professor. I received my PhD in economics from UChicago in 2025.
My research focuses on industrial organization and urban economics, primarily in commercial real estate and retail. You can find my CV here.
