I am an applied economist working at the intersection of innovation, the economics of science, and labor economics. My research examines how the organization of knowledge production—through networks, institutions, and technologies—shapes the rate and direction of scientific and technological progress.

A central theme of my work is connectivity: how scientists, inventors, and workers are linked through collaboration networks, geographic proximity, and institutional structures. In one line of research, I study how these connections affect the production and diffusion of knowledge, and develop new measures of innovation to better capture scientific output. In a second line, I analyze how access to networks translates into differences in labor market outcomes, contributing to inequality in careers and opportunities. Extending this perspective, I also investigate how advances in artificial intelligence are transforming the production function of science by reshaping the relative importance of different research inputs and altering the organization of scientific work.
