Environmental Economics
London School of Economics
Hello and Welcome!
I am an environmental economist working on topics related to innovation, technological change, and energy. In short, my interests lie primarily in understanding how policies and, more broadly speaking, institutions can influence innovation and science. Ultimately, my goals are to better understand how economic development can be sustainable for the environment and societies.
I am an Associate Professor in Environmental Economics in the Department of Geography and Environment at the London School of Economics (LSE). I also serve as Co-Lead on "Generating Sustainable Growth" at the LSE Global School of Sustainability. During the 2025-2026 academic year, I was on sabbatical as a Visiting Scholar at the University of California, Berkeley's Department of Agricultural and Resource Economics.
I am also affiliated with the Center for Economic Performance (CEP), the Grantham Research Institute, and the Data Science Institute at LSE, a Research Affiliate of the CEPR (Centre for Economic Policy Research), and an affiliate of the CESifo Research Network.
I graduated with a Ph.D. in Sustainable Development from Columbia University in 2018. My dissertation focused on the economics of the environment, technological change, and innovation.

If you're curious about innovation, climate policy, and the energy transition but unsure where to begin, the Handbook chapter below provides a structured introduction to the field:
