I am a 4th year PhD Candidate in Economics at Georgetown University. My advisors are Prof. John Rust and Prof. Nathan Miller. I have two broad research interests: (1) using deep learning to model consumer demand and user preferences and (2) using reinforcement and online learning to optimize prices and bids in markets and auctions.

In Summer 2024, I interned with Roblox where I worked on causal machine learning with experimental and observational data. Prior to my Ph.D. I was an Assistant Manager (Data Science) at American Express. During my 3 years here, I built and managed AI/ML models for digital marketing. I also help manage the department's computing resources and pickup soccer group. Free free to reach out at pp712[at]georgetown[.]edu.
