I am a Ph.D. candidate in Operations Management in Robert H. Smith School of Business at the University of Maryland. I am very fortunate to be co-advised by Wedad J. Elmaghraby and Kostas Bimpikis. I am excited about empirical and theoretical topics in online marketplace design. I currently work on supply-side market design problems, including managing market thickness, market expansion, as well as provider quality, in online platforms. 

I will join the Kelley School of Business, Indiana University, as an assistant professor of Business Analytics in Summer 2019.
