About me

I am a PhD candidate in Economics at the University of Southern California.

I specialize in econometric theory. My research projects tackle statistical and optimization problems commonly encountered in causal inference and model-based inference.

I have experience using advanced machine learning methods on large datasets and solving difficult optimization problems. I have helped research teams in industry and academia solve pricing problems, experimental design problems, and portfolio optimization problems.

My CV is available here.

Research interests

  • Semi-parametric inference: plug-in estimators and double machine learning; bandwidth selection; kNN and matching estimators; bootstrap for semi-parametric problems.
  • Statistical and econometric modeling: inverse problems and identification; inverse problems and misspecification; causal inference as inverse problems.
  • Causal inference and experimental design: bridging model-based and design-based causal inference; inference with adaptive experiments; experiments in duopoly.
  • Finance and macroeconomics: functional VAR and heterogeneity; robust portfolio optimization; beta strategies.
