Assistant Professor of Economics

Bio

I am an economist working at the intersection of experimental economics, behavioral macroeconomics, and artificial intelligence. I recently completed my PhD in Economics at Indiana University. My research examines how AI systems form and communicate economic expectations, how they compare to human decision-makers in strategic settings, and how AI can augment traditional survey and forecasting methods. I am interested in AI as a subject of economic study and as a tool for empirical research.
