I am a lecturer in the Department of Economics at Simon Fraser University.
I am an applied microeconomist working in the fields of behavioral economics, experimental economics, and machine learning.
In 2023, I taught the core first-year principles of economics course and an MSc seminar focused on machine learning for managers at Queen’s Smith School of Business.
