I am an Assistant Professor of Operations Management at Lee Kong Chian School of Business, Singapore Management University. 

My research focuses on algorithmic pricing and market design. I study how and why algorithmic pricing can grant sellers and platforms excessive pricing power at the expense of customer surplus, which is particularly important since the relevant legal frameworks lag behind technological advancements. 

I also examine when decentralized, two-sided markets thrive or fail. Is the democratization of digital marketplaces good for society? Which matching or recommendation designs are ``good''? Are decentralized models sustainable, or can more centralized platforms exploit and displace them?

Outside academia, I play blues guitar and have recently taken up cooking; I try to experiment with novel flavor combinations from cuisines around the world. I also enjoy thinking about and writing essays on AI, cognitive science, political science, economics, and philosophy, which I plan to share on this website soon.
