About Me: I am an assistant professor in the Wilf Family Department of Politics with secondary affiliation in the Department of Economics at New York University. My fields of specialization are Political Economy, Formal Political Theory, Social Choice and Public Economics, which all lie at the intersection between Political Science and Economics. I study collective decision-making problems, to understand and explain how groups of agents make decisions. I joined NYU in 2007.
