About me

I study development economics and environmental economics. My research uses experimental and non-experimental applied econometrics methods to study energy efficiency adoption, electricity grids, and air pollution from energy usage.

I teach microeconomics in the Wharton MBA program. I also occasionally co-organize the Development Economics seminar, the Energy Economics and Finance seminar, and the Applied Economics Workshop.

Please use they/them pronouns when referring to me.
