I graduated with a Ph.D. in Sustainable Development from Columbia University in 2018. My dissertation focused on the economics of environment and innovation. I have since been appointed Assistant Professor in Environmental Economics at the London School of Economics, in the Department of Geography and Environment. I am also affiliated with the Grantham Research Institute and the Center for Economic Performance at the London School of Economics.
