Bio
I'm a DPhil candidate in Environmental Economics at the University of Oxford supervised by Prof Cameron Hepburn.
My research interests include: climate policy, natural capital accounting, green innovation, and green growth.
I hold an MSc. in Economics from the London School of Economics and a BSc. (Hons) in Economics, Politics and International Studies from the University of Warwick.
I previously worked as an environmental economist at Vivid Economics in London, and prior to that, as a trade economist at ICRIER in New Delhi. I've worked with governments, international organisations and private firms to advise on various aspects of climate policy.
