I study topics in public finance and macroeconomics, and am particularly interested in the evaluation and design of fiscal policy. 

I spent 2025-26 as an economist in the White House Council of Economic Advisers. Next year, I will start as an assistant professor of economics at the University of Texas at Austin in the School of Civic Leadership.

You may find my CV here. I received my PhD in economics from MIT.
