About me

I will be on the 2026-27 job market.

I'm a doctoral candidate interested in the economics of AI and digital platforms. My research studies who adopts new AI tools and how adoption reshapes online behavior, how users divide their attention across competing platforms, and how AI advice changes the decisions people make. I combine large-scale clickstream data from consumer panels with incentivized online experiments, which lets me document behavior at scale and isolate the mechanisms behind it.
