Summary
I am an economics graduate with hands-on experience in data science and applied research. My work combines macroeconomic analysis, machine learning, and policy-relevant modeling—most recently exploring interest rate impacts on inflation and growth in the U.S. I am keen to study the economic implications of transformative AI, particularly its effects on labor markets and productivity. This fellowship presents an ideal platform to contribute rigorous, forward-looking research and engage with a community shaping the future of AI and economics.
