Bio

I am a Ph.D. candidate in Economics at the University of Maryland, specializing in Industrial Organization. My research focuses on digital markets, with particular emphasis on platform design, information frictions, and the transmission of shocks across online marketplaces. I combine structural modeling with large-scale platform data to study how different parties respond to policy and market changes. My work aims to inform both academic research and competition policy in digital environments.

I have experience working at the intersection of research and applied policy analysis. I have worked as a consultant at the World Bank Group, contributing to projects in the Enterprise Survey Unit, and as a researcher and quality assurance specialist at Power Auctions. Previously, I held research positions at academic institutions in Europe, where I supported empirical projects in applied microeconomics. Across these roles, I have worked with large administrative and firm-level datasets and collaborated closely with economists and policy practitioners.
