I am an Assistant Professor at Washington University in St. Louis. My research interest is in the design of digital platforms and economics of digitization. I am deeply interested in understanding how efficiency and quality provision on such platforms could be enhanced through information design and platform strategies. I am also interested in understanding the welfare impact of information technology and artificial intelligence in different fields.

Before joining WashU, I was a postdoctoral associate at MIT Sloan Initiative on the Digital Economy. I got my Ph.D. in Economics from Ohio State University.
