I'm a financial economist researching topics in macro-finance, international finance, technology, and innovation. In my applied theory work, I study dynamic, stochastic, general equilibrium models with heterogeneous agents. In my empirical work, I apply natural language processing and machine learning techniques to large textual datasets.
I hold a PhD in Economics from the University of Washington and currently teach and research at Warwick Business School at the University of Warwick, one of the UK's leading institutions for finance and economics. I'm originally from Seattle, Washington in the United States and currently live in the Warwickshire area of the United Kingdom.
