Economist

Federal Reserve Board

Welcome!

I am a macroeconomist in the Macroeconomic and Quantitative Studies section of the Federal Reserve Board of Governors. My research focuses on how micro heterogeneity interacts with the macroeconomy and affects economic policy.

I am part of the development team for Sequence-Space Jacobian. A Python toolkit for analyzing dynamic macroeconomic models with (or without) rich microeconomic heterogeneity.

This is a personal website. The views expressed on this website are my own and do not necessarily reflect those of the Board of Governors or the Federal Reserve System.
