About Me

20220610_112555(1).jpg
I am on the 2025-2026 job market, feel free to reach out.

Welcome and hello, I’m Brett!

I'm a postdoctoral fellow at University of New South Wales in the School of Economics with the AGORA Centre for Market Design. I graduated with a Ph.D. in economics from the University of California, Santa Cruz in 2022. 

​

My research interests lie at the intersection of experimental economics, computational economics, and micro theory. More narrowly, I study market design and micro-structure using mediums such as laboratory experiments, agent-based modelling, and simulations.

​

Additional works, interests and ideas also reach fields including decision theory and risk preference elicitation, stochastic dominance, and queuing.
