I am an Assistant Professor of Sociology at the University of Illinois-Chicago. Previously, I was a Postdoctoral Research Associate at the University of Washington. I received my PhD in Sociology from Princeton University.
My core research agenda concerns how economic development and social inequality affect one another in U.S. cities. More specifically, I study the effects of retail change on urban and suburban communities, with a particular focus on immigrant entrepreneurship, gentrification, and health disparities.
My research and teaching interests include urban studies, international migration, race and ethnicity, spatial demography, and spatial data science.
