I am a Senior Computational Social Scientist at the Growth Lab, Harvard Kennedy School. I use computational methods to study how economies change: how technologies reshape work, how countries build innovation capabilities, and how places overcome constraints to growth.

I work across applied economics, artificial intelligence, networks, and geospatial analysis. Much of my research turns messy, large-scale data into usable measurement infrastructure: occupational descriptions, patent and publication records, trade data, firm networks, satellite imagery, and administrative data. I also build tools that make these systems useful to researchers and policymakers, including LLM agents for economic databases and open-source software for economic complexity.

In the past, I have worked as a Graduate Research Assistant at MIT with Jonathan Gruber on public R&D and local economic growth, and as a Senior Research Associate at J-PAL India on an emissions trading scheme for industrial pollution regulation.
