Assistant Professor, Department of Economics, University of Notre Dame


(on research leave during 2024-2025 academic year)

I am an assistant professor in the Department of Economics at the University of Notre Dame, a faculty fellow at the Fitzgerald Institute for Real Estate, and a faculty affiliate at the Wilson Sheehan Lab for Economic Opportunities. I study housing markets, neighborhood demographics and change, and place-based policies. Much of my research uses data on individual migration to bring a new perspective to old questions like how new housing affects the broader housing market, how neighborhoods change or stay the same, and where the boundaries between neighborhoods lie. I teach undergraduate courses on urban economics and the economics of housing.

 

I graduated from the University of Wisconsin-Madison in 2012 with degrees in Economics and Mathematics

and completed my Ph.D. in Economics at Stanford in 2017. I worked at the W.E. Upjohn Institute for Employment Research before moving to Notre Dame in 2021.
