Welcome.

I am a PhD student in Economics at the University of Ottawa. My research focuses on applied microeconomics, with a particular interest in the economics of artificial intelligence, methodology, and replications. I also collaborate with the Institute for Replication.

I hold master’s degrees in Economics from University of Ottawa and International Development Studies from Wageningen University.

I am also developing a tool to help researchers scan their replication packages for presence of direct personally identifiable information, see: piichecker.org

You can find my publicatios and working papers listed here.
