Bio

I am an Assistant Professor of Economics in the Department of Economics at the University of Colorado Denver. My current research focuses on the effect of international trade on firm and labor dynamics as well as the role of market frictions in shaping the global organization of production. My goal as a researcher is to improve the understanding of these issues both theoretically and empirically.
