      I am an applied economist whose research combines tools from dynamic programming and numerical methods to answer questions relating to inefficient societal management of resources. I am interested by questions relating to the management of communicable diseases, natural resources, and the environment, and my dissertation focuses on the "Economic and Health Consequences of Inefficient Treatment of Communicable Human Diseases."

      My thesis examined the optimal management of nonrenewable resources in a principal-agent problem with adverse selection. The agent (e.g., the mining firm) to whom resource extraction is assigned by the principal (e.g., the government, or a private owner) in exchange of a preestablished royalty payment, possesses private information concerning the cost incurred for its exploration and extraction activities.
