Welcome! I am a PhD Candidate in Economics at The University of Chicago.
I work at the intersection of international trade and industrial organization. My research also draws on production networks, firm dynamics, and labor economics.
I will join the Department of Economics and Finance at City University of Hong Kong as an Assistant Professor and the Department of Economics at University College London as a Postdoctoral Fellow.
My CV is available here.
