Welcome! 

I am an economist at the US Federal Trade Commission Antitrust Division. I received my PhD in economics from Columbia University. For my dissertation, I developed econometric methodologies for analyzing static and dynamic strategic interactions of firms. My current research interest spans various topics in econometrics and industrial organization.
