Experiences:During the summer of 2008, I worked as a researcher under Professor Susan Athey on the topic of online advertisement auctions, and also as a researcher under Professor David Laibson on behavioural consumption theory. I also worked with Citadel Investments on projects relating to energy pricing and financial market design, specifically pricing mechanisms.
During the summer of 2007, I did economics/math research for economics professor David Laibson under the IQSS. My research included proving an optimal formula for mortgage refinancing and discovering a optimal questioning strategy in item response theory. I also worked with Jane Street Capital on statistical arbitrage techniques.
