I am a Ph.D. Candidate in Finance at the Gies College of Business, University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. My research focuses on macro-finance, asset pricing, monetary economics, and machine learning. In particular, I work on the role of financial markets in capital allocation, and in the transmission of monetary policy to firms and households.

I am on the 2026-2027 academic job market. My committee members are Heitor Almeida, Victor Duarte, Neil Pearson, Mathias Kronlund, and Yuchen Chen. Please feel free to reach out to me if you have any questions.
