I received my Ph.D. degree in economics from Georgia Institute of Technology, where I obtained “Tech to Teaching” certificate. I have been working with the Center for Teaching and Learning as a graduate teaching fellow for two years, and served as a leadership coach for Leadership Education and Development.
My research interests include international trade-related topics such as the socio-economic impacts of trade liberalization and trade duration. I am also interested in interdisciplinary research that combines big data and economic analysis. My teaching interests include all levels of microeconomics, macroeconomics, statistics, analytics, and econometrics.
