Biography
I am on the job market 2024-2025 year!
My research focuses on how platform disintermediation reshapes collaboration and decision-making. Specifically, I'm looking at how blockchain technologies facilitate (i) novel forms of organizing and decision-making processes (stream 1) and (ii) mitigating gender- and racial biases present in traditional marketplaces (stream 2).
My dissertation consists of three essays, which are on:
- The role of token ownership in DAO* governance: A job market paper
- Community-managed governance, learned from everyday community discourse in DAOs
- How disintermediation of NFT** market shapes the gender- and racial- bias in art pricing.
* DAO: decentralized autonomous organization, ** NFT: non-fungible token
