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

I spent 2025-26 in the Council of Economic Advisers and will receive my PhD in economics from MIT in 2026. Next year, I will start as an assistant professor of economics at the University of Texas at Austin in the School of Civic Leadership.
