I am an Associate Professor of Accounting at the Darden School of Business, University of Virginia.

My research is in empirical financial accounting, with particular interests in valuation, large language models (LLMs), and mergers & acquisitions.

Previously, I was an Assistant Professor at the University of Southern California's Marshall School of Business. I received my doctorate from Harvard Business School and my B.A. from Yale University.
