Welcome
I am a doctoral candidate in the Department of Economics at Stanford University. My primary interests are microeconomic theory, market design, economics and computation, and industrial organization. My advisor is Professor Paul Milgrom. I am supported by the Koret Fellowship (part of the Stanford Graduate Fellowship Program in Science and Engineering) and the Ric Weiland Graduate Fellowship.
During the 2023-24 Academic Year, I am working as a consultant at Auctionomics on auction design.
I have a Master in Public Policy from the Harvard Kennedy School of Government, where I was a John F. Kennedy Fellow. I also hold a Bachelor of Science (Hons) in mathematics from the University of Queensland, where I was a University Medallist and Graduate of the Year in 2012.
I am from Brisbane, Australia. Between 2013 and 2016, I was the adviser to The Hon Dr Jim Chalmers MP, then Shadow Minister for Financial Services and Superannuation and Shadow Minister for Sport.
