Welcome to my website! I am a PhD Candidate in Economics and Data Science at the University of Montreal.
My research interests include Econometrics, Big Data, Machine Learning/Text as Data (NLP), and Climate Finance. I am also interested in applying Artificial Intelligence methods to answer macro-finance and causal inference questions.
I hold an MSc. in Statistics and Economics, and have worked as an economist at the Bank of Canada, IMF, and World Bank, as well as an AI Scientist in the IT Industry.
I will be on the job market in the 2023-2024 academic year, and I will be available for interviews at the ASSA and at the EJME virtual meetings.
Please see my CV for more details.
