About
I am a PhD candidate in the Department of Economics at Michigan State University.
I am currently on the job market in the 2026-27 academic year.
My research is in applied microeconomics, with a focus on health economics and labor economics. I study how people respond to the incentives that policies and institutions create, using both economic models and empirical methods.
My job market paper examines how transplant candidates respond to changes in their expected access to organs, using a national reform to the U.S. liver allocation system. I’m also interested in using machine learning to measure objects that are often unobserved in the data, like organ quality or job attributes.
