Bio

I am a Ph.D. candidate in Economics at the University of Maryland, specializing in Industrial Organization. My research focuses on digital markets, platform design, and information frictions in online marketplaces. I combine reduced-form and structural methods with large-scale platform data to study how platforms, firms, and consumers respond to market design, regulation, and competition.

I have professional experience in both academic research and applied policy analysis. My background includes consulting work at the World Bank Group, research and quality assurance at Power Auctions, and earlier research positions at academic institutions in Europe. Across these roles, I have contributed to empirical projects using large administrative and firm-level datasets in collaboration with economists and policy practitioners.
