Hello, welcome to my website! I obtained my PhD degree at the Department of Economics, Pennsylvania State University. My supervisors are Jonathan Eaton and Mark Roberts, with Jingting Fan and James Tybout as my committee members.

My research fields are industrial organization and macro development. In particular, I am interested in topics on technological change, innovation and industrial policy. I seek to combine accurate micro estimates with meaningful macro implications, with an emphasis on the modelling and methodology development.
