Welcome to my personal webpage!
I am a Ph.D. student in the Department of Economics at Rice University. My research field is Empirical Industrial Organization with a focus on issues related to healthcare markets. My current research projects are on topics regarding market design, subsidy schemes, and quality of care in government sponsored health insurance markets. I am also interested in antitrust and competition economics.
I will be available for interviews at the ASSA 2022 and EJME 2021 virtual meetings.
