👋 About Me

I am a student at The University of Chicago, with a background in Data Analytics and Economics.

My research interests lie at the intersection of Econometrics, Machine Learning, and Computational Social Science, with particular interests in text-as-data and empirical economic research.

💡 Note: I use this GitHub profile primarily to share and maintain replication code for my research and published papers, supporting research transparency and reproducibility.

  • 🔭 I am currently working as a Research Assistant at UChicago, focusing on partial identification strategies and RDD replication.
