About me

I am a behavioral and experimental economist. My research interest lies in understanding human nature through the lens of behavioral models of rational agents. I try to uncover the structure of underlying preferences that are hidden behind the constraints of information, social norms, or network structures, through both theoretical and experimental means. I received my Ph.D. in Economics from Washington University in St. Louis. I am an Assitant Professor in the Department of Economics at Fairfield University. I worked as a postdoctoral research associate at the Smith Institute for Political Economy and Philosophy at Chapman University prior to joining Fairfield.

I find it easier to describe the path I took than to describe who I am now. It is slightly easier to describe what I do than who I am. For example, I cook when I don’t read or write.
