Welcome to my personal website!

I recently received my PhD in January 2024 in the Department of Economics at Stanford University, where my advisor was Professor Guido Imbens. I was also mentored by Professor Alfred Galichon, Professor Han Hong, and Professor  Yinyu Ye. Currently I am a postdoctoral researcher in Professor Johan Ugander's group at Stanford University's MS&E department. 

My research interests include econometrics, causal inference, optimization, data science, and particularly the interactions between them in theoretical, empirical, and policy questions.

Here is my CV.
