About me
About me
I am a postdoctoral fellow at the the University of Texas at Austin. I have recently graduated as a PhD in Business Economics at Insper where I worked under the supervision of Dr. Hedibert Lopes. For the first semester of 2023, I was a visiting scholar at the School of Mathematical and Statistical Sciences at Arizona State University working with Dr. Richard Hahn.
