As an experimental and behavioral economist, I pursue research that explores how cognitive constraints and social identity shape economic decision-making. I use controlled experiments to identify causal mechanisms behind observed disparities in behavior and outcomes, particularly in the contexts of limited attention and identity-based discrimination. My work contributes to the empirical foundations of behavioral economics, the methodological development of identity measurement in experiments, and the growing literature on economic inclusion. Supported by the NSF, Russell Sage Foundation, and RPI internal funding, my research offers insights for both theory and policy design. I received my PhD in Economics from the University of Maryland, College Park in 2019 and have been an Assistant Professor in the Department of Economics at RPI ever since.
