I am a 6th year PhD student in the program of Managerial Economics and Strategy (MECS) at Kellogg School of Management - Northwestern University.
I will be joining Harvard Business School as an Assistant Professor in the Technology and Operations Management (TOM) unit for the 2026-2027 academic year.
My research lies at the intersection of behavioral economics, experimental economics, and applied microeconomics. I study topics related to AI-human interaction, attention, strategic incentives, and monitoring.
My work has been featured in leading media outlets including The Economist, CBC, and Forbes.
My job market paper uses a field experiment to study how image concerns shape the adoption of AI in the workplace: "Barriers to AI Adoption: Image Concerns at Work"
Here is my CV.
