I am an Assistant Professor of Finance at the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania.  

Large financial institutions play an outsized role in today’s financial markets.  In my research, I seek to understand how competition and regulations affect the incentives of financial intermediaries such as dealers, money market funds, and insurance companies.  My work applies a variety of empirical methods, including structural estimation, to consider the impact of financial intermediation on asset prices, monetary policy, and international finance.

I hold a Ph.D. in Finance from the Stanford Graduate School of Business, and an A.B. in Economics, magna cum laude, from Harvard College.  Prior to graduate school, I was a consultant at McKinsey & Company’s New York office, and a private equity investor for the U.A.E.’s sovereign wealth fund (ADIA).

I am a CFA charterholder and an external consultant for the Federal Reserve Bank of New York.
