I am a PhD student in Economics at the University of Houston.
My research fields are International and Macroeconomics.
My research focuses on analyzing economic interactions across space, quantifying their driving forces, and deriving policy implications. I use quantitative (international trade and macroeconomic) models and empirical (micro-econometrics and time series) methods.
