Economist · Lecturer · Policy researcher
About
I am a Full-time Lecturer in the Economics Program at Universidad UTE (Quito, Ecuador), combining university teaching with applied research on economic regulation and policy evaluation.
My work bridges academic research and policy practice: over a decade in Ecuador’s public sector — at the Ministries of Labor, Foreign Affairs, and Energy, and the Superintendence of Market Power Control — followed by a PhD at Paris Dauphine-PSL advised by Prof. Eric Brousseau.
Research
I study economic regulation and the governance of network industries (energy, telecoms, transport), with a methodological focus on natural language processing and causal inference applied to policy data. My PhD dissertation developed NLP-based metrics to evaluate regulatory reforms across European network industries.

Currently teaching (Spring 2026):
- Macroeconomics — Economics program
