I am on the 2026-27 job market!

I am a PhD candidate in Finance at the University of Oxford’s Saïd Business School. My research studies the real effects of finance, with a focus on how financial shocks reshape local labor and housing markets. I combine reduced-form empirical methods with spatial equilibrium models. Before Oxford, I studied at the London School of Economics and Tsinghua University.
