Welcome!

I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of Economics at the National University of Singapore (NUS) and a Research Fellow at the NUS Risk Management Institute. I received my Ph.D. in Economics from Yale University.

My research interests lie in econometrics, with applications in social networks, empirical industrial organization, and macroeconomics. I am also interested in large language models and their applications in economics.
