My research examines the economics of emerging technologies, with a particular focus on information privacy, generative AI, and AI governance. Methodologically, I primarily employ analytical modeling and simulation to explore theoretical research questions, while remaining open to empirical, behavioral, and qualitative approaches when appropriate.

Outside of research, I am an INTJ who loves trying new things. When I am not thinking about economic incentives and algorithms, you will probably find me working out, hiking, or running.
