I am an Assistant Professor of Accounting at Rutgers University - New Brunswick. I teach undergraduate and Honors Financial Accounting. Prior to my current appointment, I was a Visiting Professor at Columbia Business School, where I taught in the MBA core. 

My research examines the social effects of accounting and financial information. I focus on topics such as financial disclosure, regulation, public finance, healthcare, and shareholder litigation. My work uses empirical archival methods, surveys, and field experiments. Across these settings, I explore how accounting and regulatory systems influence organizations, governance, and tax compliance. For example, I study how procurement regulations influence federal contracting outcomes, how investors are affected by the corporate governance role of litigation, how accounting impacts hospitals and patient care, and the social and financial factors affecting households’ willingness to pay property taxes. 

My work is published and forthcoming in academic journals such as Journal of Accounting Research, Journal of Accounting & Economics, American Economic Journal: Economic Policy, and American Economic Journal: Applied. My research has been featured in various media outlets, including the Dallas Morning News, Public Procurement International, and top economics blog Marginal Revolution. I received the Best Dissertation Award from the Naveen Jindal School of Management at The University of Texas at Dallas in 2023. 

I hold a B.S. in Electrical Engineering from UT Austin, an M.S. in Quantitative Finance from the University of Houston, and both an M.S. in Economics and a Ph.D. in Accounting from UT Dallas. Before academia, I worked as an Electrical Project Engineer at Intel Corporation, managing the design and construction of electrical systems for advanced CPU fabrication factories. I am CPA-qualified in the state of Texas. 

In my spare time, I enjoy biking, music, and racquet sports.
