Some news: I'll be starting as an assistant professor at Trinity College in Hartford, CT as of this coming summer.

I'm so excited to get started working with great colleagues. It's been a really tough series of markets, and I'm so lucky to have found a great place to teach and do research.

Excited this is done. It took a few years to clean the data!
