Welcome to my homepage!
I am a Visiting Assistant Professor of Economics at Union College and am also affiliated with its Asian Studies Program. I received my PhD in Economics from the University of Massachusetts Amherst in September 2024.
My research is primarily in macroeconomics and economic development, with a particular interest in the sectoral dimensions of structural change. This interest runs through historical studies of development planning (Leontief's own contributions to the field, and postwar India's heavy-industry drive under Nehru and Mahalanobis), an analysis of input-output network structure (documenting the pervasiveness of singularity across historical and contemporary IO tables, and its economic implications), and contemporary applications (capital flows and sectoral R&D, innovation and structural change, global value chains).
My work also extends to the broader dynamics of macroeconomic fluctuations, through a Monte Carlo study of the limits of linear estimation of nonlinear business cycles, and to the economic history of sovereign debt, including restructuring episodes in Argentina and the Democratic Republic of Congo.
