I am an Assistant Professor of Marketing at Cornell University's SC Johnson College of Business. I graduated from Stanford University's Graduate School of Business with a Ph.D. in Quantitative Marketing in 2021.
I conduct randomized field experiments and econometric analysis to investigate firm strategies and consumer behavior in emerging markets. Substantively, my current research focuses on how traditional small-scale retail firms can modernize and adopt digital technologies. I aim to do policy-relevant and managerially-relevant research that uncovers mechanisms by which emerging market retailers can improve their performance. I create novel datasets in my research by collecting primary field data on understudied marketing variables, algorithmically analyzing images of firms, and obtaining electronic transaction data from traditional firms.
