I am an applied economist who specializes in econometrics and modeling consumer behavior. My fields of interest are industrial organization and applied econometrics. My main passion is to translate data into meaningful impact evaluation metrics. I use cutting-edge structural modeling, spatial modeling, and causal inference. I am particularly interested in studying market competition and welfare outcomes across individuals with different demographic characteristics.
My research uses causal inference tools and structural modeling to extract insights from data and measure the impact of policies. I have worked on various projects, ranging from estimating optimal interventions in food fortification programs across African countries to evaluating the effect of financial index fund availability on farmers’ premiums to hedge their crops.
However, most of my work lies in the nexus of energy markets and competition. I study how different aspects of competition, such as price and location, affect market outcomes such as consumer welfare, environmental impacts, product branding, etc.
I have extensive experience teaching graduate and undergraduate-level courses in economics, with a particular focus on industrial organization, finance, and econometrics.
As an economist, I am committed to using my expertise to impact society positively. I am passionate about leveling the playing field for immigrants and first-generation college students.
