Bio

I am a Ph.D. Candidate in Economics at the University of Maryland, specializing in Industrial Organization. I study how platform design, information frictions, and competition shape firm behavior and consumer outcomes in digital markets. My research combines reduced-form and structural methods with large-scale platform data to examine the economic consequences of market design and regulation. My work draws on research experience across academia, policy, and industry institutions including IESE Business School, the World Bank, Power Auctions, and Amazon.
