About

I am currently a research economist at the Center for Enterprise Dissemination - Disclosure Avoidance (CED-DA), Research and Applications Group at the U.S. Census Bureau*. Our work aims to modernize legacy statistical disclosure methods using formal privacy frameworks, such as differential privacy.

My research interests include how differential privacy and other noise-injection methods affect downstream inference for estimators that are widely used by econometricians (e.g., OLS, 2SLS, and GMM) and how these methods can be used to protect training data participation and reconstruction in classification algorithms.

I received my Ph.D. in Economics in 2022 at the University of Iowa, where I specialized in econometrics and empirical industrial organization. My dissertation examined identification and estimation of production functions with unobserved heterogeneity.
