Professional Summary
Until the end of May, 2018, I will be an Assistant Professor at Trinity University (San Antonio, Texas), after that I will become a Lecturer at University of Chicago School of Economics. I am also an honorary Research Fellow at the University College London Centre for Blockchain Technologies. According to Social Science Research Network, I am among the top 500 economic authors in the world (out of 26,975 ranked) gauged by research interest (paper downloads in past 12 months).
I began researching cryptocurrencies/cryptoassets (such as Bitcoin) in 2014. My cryptocurrency research focuses on the use and implication of cryptocurrencies as a globally traded alternative to national currencies or assets. This incorporates topics such as exchange rates, capital controls, and the global financial and monetary system. I have been interviewed by various media outlets, including NPR, and have given talks at various local business organizations.
I have taught specialized courses in international trade and international macroeconomics, in addition to the introductory microeconomics and macroeconomics. I have received multiple teaching awards, and several of my undergraduate students have presented the results of their supervised research at undergraduate conferences.
