He also holds a postdoctoral appointment as a Research Fellow and teaches courses at the Ross School of Business. His primary roles include academic instruction and research.

Esteban earned his PhD in Economics from Yale University. His research focuses on Microeconomic Theory, particularly in Matching Theory and Implementation Theory, with additional work in the Epistemology of Economics. He explores foundational questions about economic knowledge and stability in allocation processes, alongside practical applications in market design and mechanism creation.

In his research, he addresses topics such as the theoretical underpinnings of stable allocations, Bayesian implementation, and the interplay between knowledge and economic outcomes. Recent work has examined lone agent behavior in matching markets, sorting mechanisms, and the provability of economic models.

While no scientific awards are explicitly listed, his research has been cited in prominent outlets like the Wall Street Journal. His articles reflect a sustained focus on stability in economic systems and epistemological challenges in theory development.
