About

I am a PhD student at Princeton University, affiliated with the Research Program in Political Economy. During the 2024-2025 academic year, I was a research fellow at the Yale Institute for Social and Policy Studies, collaborating with Adam Meirowitz and Alan Gerber. I graduated from Yale in 2024, where I majored in Mathematics and obtained a second degree in Economics. My senior thesis was advised by Dirk Bergemann.

I am broadly interested in the intersection of political economy and economic theory, where my research focuses on the application of game theory to the study of elections and collective decision-making. I currently study polarization in models of elections with uncertainty, social learning in voting games, and mechanism-design approaches to understanding political accountability.

In addition, I previosuly have worked in the Research and Statistics Group at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. I worked on Bayesian estimation of macroeconomic models and econometric theory in the Applied Macroeconomics & Econometrics Center (AMEC).
