Welcome! I am an Assistant Professor of Economics at Caltech and a Faculty Research Fellow at the National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER).

​

I am an economic historian working at the intersection of finance and public economics. I am particularly interested in how financial intermediaries and financial crises affect long-run U.S. economic growth, with a focus on local governments and households. I teach data science for finance and economics (B.S.) and U.S. economic history (B.S. and Ph.D.).
