I am a research fellow at Monash University in Melbourne, Australia. I joined its Impact Labs in July 2022 after receiving my PhD degree at the Ohio State University.

My primary research interests lie in applied micro theory and theoretical IO. In particular, I work on market design, game theory, and information economics, with a focus on matching theory and energy economics.

I'm on the job market in 2024-25.
