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, air pollution, and environmental risk mitigation.

At the University of Pennsylvania, I am affiliated with: 

• The Penn Environmental Innovations Initiative 
• The Penn Development Research Initiative
• The Wharton Climate Center at Wharton's new Environmental, Social, and Governance Initiative 
• Analytics at Wharton​
• The Penn Program on Regulation

I teach Microeconomics for Managers in Wharton's MBA program. I also co-organize the Development Economics seminar, the Energy Economics and Finance seminar, and the Applied Economics Workshop.
