My research spans two areas. In macro-finance and asset pricing, I study how financial intermediaries, deposit franchises, and inelastic markets shape monetary transmission. In business ecosystems and digital transformation, I study how AI and ecosystem governance are reshaping corporate strategy, with a current interest in geopolitical fragmentation.
I earned my M.A. at the University of Chicago, advised by Stefan Nagel, and previously worked under Lars Peter Hansen at the Macro Finance Research Program, Chicago Booth.
