About
I received my Ph.D. in Economics from the University of Texas at Austin in May 2026, where I was advised by Saroj Bhattarai and Olivier Coibion. I study how economic agents acquire information from their environment and how their learning behavior contributes to macroeconomic dynamics.
I am currently a Postdoctoral Researcher at Central European University in Vienna, working with Prof. Robert Lieli. In Fall 2027, I will join the University of Otago as an Assistant Professor (Lecturer).

Keeping up with the Curve: Learning, Evolving Beliefs and the Anchoring of Expectations Job Market Paper
I explain the behavior of inflation, unemployment, and long-run inflation expectations in the post-war U.S. by estimating a forward-looking model in which private agents learn about structural fundamentals and the policymakers’ stabilization preferences in real-time. The model offers a novel, information-theoretic account of expectation anchoring and a new explanation for the post-Covid inflation surge and the subsequent “costless disinflation.”
