<h2 id="about">Abstract</h2>
<p style="text-align: left; text-indent: 0.5in;">
I am a Research Scientist at Uniswap Labs.
My current research interests include empirical economics and protocol & mechanism design.
</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 1em;"></p>
<p style="text-align: left; text-indent: 0.5in;">
Prior to joining Uniswap Labs, I was a quantitative researcher at AQR Capital Management, with a focus on equity alpha signal research and portfolio risk modeling.
Before that, I was a structured product and derivatives trader at KGS Alpha Capital Markets (now BMO Capital Markets).
</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 1em;"></p>
<p style="text-align: left; text-indent: 0.5in;">
I hold a Master's degree in Financial Mathematics from Princeton University and a dual degree in Mathematics and Economics from the University of Pennsylvania.
