About me

I am an applied economist working at the intersection of real estate and urban economics, industrial organization, and artificial intelligence. I am currently an Assistant Professor of Real Estate and Urban Land Economics at the Wisconsin School of Business, University of Wisconsin–Madison, which I joined through the university’s RISE-AI initiative. Before coming to Madison, I was an Assistant Professor of Economics at the University of Toronto.

My research combines structural economic models with the predictive power of AI and machine learning to study housing markets, household mobility, digital platforms, and the spatial distribution of economic activity. I am interested in some of the central questions facing housing and urban markets today: What influences whether and where households move? How do moving costs and housing supply constraints affect affordability? How do digital platforms such as Airbnb alter local housing markets? And how can AI provide new ways to understand these increasingly complex markets?

I received my Ph.D. in Economics from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. You can find my work on the Research page, or download my CV.
