Bio

Welcome! I am an Assistant Professor at the Department of Economics at Harvard. My research combines economics and data science to develop or justify statistical methods for applications in social sciences, with a focus on policy design and causal inference.

I was a Postdoctoral Fellow at Harvard in 2023-2024. Before that, I spent one year at Stanford GSB as a postdoctoral fellow sponsored by Guido Imbens. I received my Ph.D. from the Department of Economics at UC San Diego in 2022, and a Master's in Data Science from Pompeu Fabra in 2017.

You find here my CV, and Research Statement.
