I am a final-year PhD candidate in Economics at Purdue University. I study pro-environmental behavior, collective-action failures in settings such as protests and climate response, and gender discrimination in labor markets, using controlled experiments and primary data collection. My interest in these topics follows from repeated exposure to environments where behavior, incentives, and institutional frictions jointly determine outcomes. I focus on questions where well-identified mechanisms can inform targeted policy or organizational changes. My training in experimental and empirical methods has given me the tools to isolate these mechanisms and evaluate them with precision. This approach shapes how I think about economic problems: reduce them to the components that matter, test them cleanly, and extract evidence that can guide real decisions.
