I join the University of Rochester as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Economics with a joint appointment in the Goergen Institute for Data Science in July 2024. My research centers around econometric theory and its practical applications. Specifically, my interests lie in robust inference for clustered data, machine-learning and high-dimensional methods, as well as weak identification in IV regression.
