I am a Postdoctoral Associate in the Division of Social Science at NYU Abu Dhabi. I received my PhD in Social Science (with a minor in Computer Science) from the California Institute of Technology.

My research interests lie in microeconomic theory, with a focus on mechanism design, contract theory, and matching.

I am on the 2025–26 Job Market.
