BIO

I am the Howard & Nancy Marks Fellow (postdoc) at the University of Chicago Booth School of Business. I received my Ph.D. in Economics from the Paris School of Economics in 2023, with a two-year Ph.D. visit at the Department of Economics at Princeton University.

I study how emerging technologies transform business operations, decision-making, and organizational design. I combine large-scale field experiments with behavioral economic models to understand how firms integrate artificial intelligence into core workflows and how these technologies reshape performance, incentives, and the allocation of decision-making.

I am currently on the academic job market for the 2025–2026 cycle.

My job market paper, Voice AI in Firms, runs the first large-scale natural field experiment on AI voice agents that automate job interviews. Using data from over 70,000 real interviews, I study how automation changes labor matching, firm performance, and human-AI behavior. You can read about this work in recent interviews with Bloomberg and Poets & Quants, listen to a short podcast from NPR and watch a podcast episode with Chicago Booth Review.

My research agenda, Artificial Process Outsourcing, examines how emergent technologies reshape work in global markets. Through theory-driven natural field experiments embedded in real-world business processes, I study the design, mechanisms, and welfare trade-offs of technology augmentation and automation. This agenda builds on a five-year research partnership I launched in 2024 with PSG Global Solutions LLC, a subsidiary of Teleperformance SE, one of the world’s largest Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) firms. It is supported by research grants from Schmidt Sciences, Google Cloud, Effective Ventures US, the Becker Friedman Institute, the Booth Center for Applied AI, and the Swiss National Science Foundation.
