BIO
I use methods in applied microeconomics and industrial organization to answer research questions in energy and the environment. My research studies energy and electricity markets, climate change policy, urban economics, distributional impacts of environmental policy, and industry responses to environmental regulation. I am also interested in transportation demand, urban form, and energy efficiency in urban centers.
I am currently an Assistant Professor in the Economics Department at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, with an adjunct appointment in the Environment, Ecology, and Energy Program.
I received my Ph.D. in Environmental Economics from Yale University in 2019. I also earned a M.ESc. and a M.Phil. in Environmental Economics from Yale, and a B.A. in Political Economy of Industrialized Societies and Music from the University of California, Berkeley. Before joining UNC at Chapel Hill, I was a postdoctoral scholar in the Environmental Market Solutions Lab (emLab) at the University of California, Santa Barbara. I have professional experiences in the electricity industry, federal government, and non-governmental research organizations, all of which inform and motivate my research agenda.
