  • Message to Prospective Students

    I encourage students to approach real-world challenges through an economic lens and to make thoughtful use of data in connecting theory with practice. I look forward to working with students from diverse backgrounds who are eager to apply economic theory, econometrics, data science, and empirical analysis to build a more sustainable and fair society.
