British Academy Postdoctoral Fellow

I am on the 2024 - 25 Economics Job Market. 

• Research statement

Welcome to my website! I am an applied microeconomist interested in innovation to address both climate change and development. I hold a PhD in Environmental Economics from the University of Oxford (2023) and my postdoctoral work is supported by the British Academy Fellowship. In 2023, I received the CESifo Distinguished Research Affiliate Award (Energy & Environment) for my research on feed-in tariffs to bring grid-scale solar to market. I was also invited to be a referee for UChicago's market shaping accelerator led by Michael Kramer, where I refereed first stage proposals for advanced market commitments to bring clean technologies to market. Prior to academia, I worked as a practising environmental and energy economist for several years, advising on carbon pricing, renewable energy policy, green industrial policy and natural resource management across Asia, Africa, and Europe (see here).
