About Me

I am a Ph.D. candidate in Economics at the State University of New York at Binghamton. My research is in empirical industrial organization and applied microeconomics. I study how technology adoption changes firm productivity, input choices, and market power, using firm-level data and structural econometric models.

A central question in my work is whether digitalization improves productivity and firms’ pricing power. My research combines evidence from manufacturing and banking with methods for identifying productivity, tracing causal mechanisms, and estimating differences in treatment effects.

I am on the 2026–27 job market.
