My research focuses on developing and applying methods for projecting the socio-economic impacts of climate change.

I am currently a post-doctoral research fellow at the University of Exeter's Land, Environment, Economics and Policy Institute (LEEP), and a Visiting Fellow at the LSE's Grantham Research Institute on Climate Change and the Environment. I completed my PhD in Public Affairs at Princeton University in 2025, where my fields were environmental economics, climate impacts, econometrics, and quantitative methods. Prior to Princeton, I was a pre-doctoral fellow at the Climate Impact Lab at the University of Chicago, and before that an economist at the UK energy regulator Ofgem.
