=Doctoral Committee Members=
My dissertation committee at Berkely is comprised of:
Michael is the chair of my dissertation committee. He is an excellent economic theorist and his primary research area is the economics of innovation. I took two directed studies courses with Michael in 2010, and was proud to have him on my oral's committee.
I currently work with Michael on [[Models of Venture Capital]] and research related to [[Patents]]. Michael is my theory and innovation guru, though he provides input into every aspect of my work.
==Toby Stuart==

Toby is the co-chair of my dissertation committee and is currently visiting Berkeley from Harvard. Toby claims to be a sociologist(I'm pretty sure he's actually an economist), but is also a fantastic empiricist , and is one of the leading names in the entrepreneurship literature. I met Toby in a meeting with Silicon Valley Bank, and am glad to call him both a friend and a mentor.
I currently work with Toby on a project [[Attributing Performance to VC Partners]] and another relating to [[Online Dating]]. Toby is my empirical and VC guru.
==Christine Parlour==
Christine is my finance field advisor. I met Christine when I took her [[PHDBA239DA | Market Microstructure class]]. Christine is a superb contract theorist and brings her finance perspective to my research.
I have auditted or taken (for grade) the Discrete Time Asset Pricing, Macro Finance, Empirical Finance, Corporate Finance, and Market Microstructure courses offered at Berkeley, and Christine helps me to bring a out the finance perspective to aspects of my research.
==Suzanne Scotchmer==

I was delighted to have Suzanne as the outside member of my Oral's Committee and heartily recommend [http://www.amazon.com/Innovation-Incentives-Suzanne-Scotchmer/dp/0262693437/ref=ed_oe_p/104-9085612-3468751?ie=UTF8 her book] to other PhDs considering research on innovation and incentives.
