Welcome! I am an Assistant Professor of Economics at the Department of Economics, Accounting, and Finance at the School of Management at Marist College.

I am the organizer of the Marist School of Management research seminar series (RSS) for the 2021-2022 and 2022-2023 academic years.

My research interests are in microeconomic theory - information economics (strategic communication and information design), and the implications of memory imperfections for strategic behavior. Aside from that I am interested in repeated games, experimental economics, and the neuroscience of learning and memory.

Curriculum Vitae

I am a member of the "Economists for Ukraine" open collective working to support Ukraine and stop the brutal invasion by the Russian Federation. To learn more about out efforts please visit our site.

I was very grateful to have been nominated and selected for a profile by For The Record, an initiative of Marist College's student newspaper Marist Circle. The profile tells a large part of my personal story, and includes an interview, with a story by Maddi Langweil and photography by Ale Basalo, to whom I extend my warmest thanks.
