I am a lead macroeconomist at Plaid and a fellow at Boston University and the Stanford Digital Economy Lab. I have previously held research roles at Opendoor and the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta. My research focuses on high-dimensional computational economics and large-scale, micro-founded simulation methods, with applications in public and consumer finance, macroeconomics, housing, and the economics of artificial intelligence. I received my Ph.D in Economics from Boston University, and an M.S. in Statistical and Economic Modeling from Duke University, where I also received a B.S. in Economics and a B.A. in Philosophy.
My publications have been covered by major media outlets including CNBC, The Wall Street Journal, Bloomberg, The Hill, The New York Times, Barron’s, and Forbes. I have also been invited to present my work at the National Bureau of Economic Research, the National Tax Association, the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta, Boston, San Francisco, and Kansas City, the Gaidar Institute, the Congressional Budget Office, RAND, United Nations ESCAP, the International Monetary Fund, the Monetary Authority of Singapore, and the Hong Kong Monetary Authority.
My most recent academic work studies the macroeconomic impact of transformative AI and inflation’s fiscal impact on U.S. households. A full list of my publications and working papers is available on Google Scholar.
