I am a Visiting Assistant Professor at Wake Forest University. I received my Ph.D. in Economics from Vanderbilt University in 2026. 

My research interests lie in the intersection of innovation and international trade. I am particularly interested in studying the global impacts of industrial policies on firms' development and diffusion of new technologies.
