About me

I play with finance, economics, statistics, code and pianos.

I am a postdoctoral researcher at Stanford’s GSB. I work on industrial organization with Shoshana Vasserman. I received my PhD in finance from the University of Oregon. I have a master’s in finance from the ICMA Centre at the Henley Business School (which itself is part of the University of Reading), and a BSc in Technical Theater from Southern Oregon University. I’m often a developer for Turing.jl, a probabilistic programming tool.
