Welcome! I am a Ph.D. candidate in economics at Auburn University. I am on the 2023-24 job market and will be available for interviews. My research centers on assessing the consequences of government regulatory policies and covers relevant topics in innovation, labor, and health, often from the lens of economic history. In my job market paper, I explore how product safety standards shaped medical innovation in the 1960s. In other ongoing projects, I investigate the consequences of historical labor market institutions, including the removal of gender-specific hours restrictions throughout the 1970s and the adoption of occupational licensing in the early 20th century.
Before joining Auburn University, I got my Master of Arts in economics from the University of Virginia (admitted as a Ph.D. student and finished all qualifiers at once, as well as all required coursework), Master of Public Policy from Brown University, and Bachelor of Economics from Nankai University.
Fields of Interest: innovation, health economics, economic history, labor economics
