I am an Assistant Professor of Business Economics & Public Policy at the Wharton School at Penn. I study microeconomics in the context of environment, energy, and climate in developing countries.

At Wharton, I teach Microeconomics for Managers (MGEC 611) in the MBA program and co-organize the Energy Economics and Finance (EEF) seminar. I am affiliated with Wharton's Business, Climate, and Environment Lab and Analytics at Wharton, and the University of Pennsylvania's Development Research Initiative and Program on Regulation. I am also a fellow at the Energy for Growth Hub. 

I have a PhD from UC Berkeley, where I was affiliated with the Energy Institute at the Haas School of Business, an MA International and Development Economics from Yale University, and a BSc Statistics  from the University College London.
