I am a PhD candidate in the Computer Science Theory group at Northwestern University, advised by Jason Hartline. During the 2026-2027 academic year, I am visiting École normale supérieure Paris-Saclay and the FAIRPLAY group at Inria Saclay.
I am broadly interested in economics and computation and learning theory. My current focus is on the theoretical understanding of swap-regret minimization algorithms and calibration, and on applications of the theory to making markets more competitive, particularly in addressing algorithmic collusion and related legal questions.
Before Northwestern, I was a visiting student at Technion, hosted by Inbal Talgam-Cohen. I earned my B.Sc. in Computer Science from the Turing Class at Peking University, where I did undergraduate research with Xiaotie Deng.
