I am a PhD candidate in Economics at the University of California, Los Angeles. I hold a Bachelor’s and a Master’s degree in Economics from the University of Chile.

Previously, I served as a Pre-Doctoral Research Fellow at the School of Business and Economics, Universidad de los Andes, Chile, where I worked with Professors Alvaro García-Marín and Juan Pablo Xandri.

I’m interested in Macroeconomics with Heterogeneous Agents, Macro-Finance, and Computational Economics.
