I am a PhD candidate in economics at University of Zurich, under supervision of Professor David Hémous. My primary research interest is environmental, resource and energy economics. I use quasi-experimental and experimental methods to study the effects of environmental policies as well as corporate and individual sustainability behaviors. I am also interested in public policy, applied microeconomics, and behavioral economics.
Before PhD, I earned a bachelor's degree with a double major in Economics and Mathematics from Dickinson College in 2017 and a master's degree in social sciences with economics concentration from University of Chicago in 2020. I also held research assistant positions at University of Copenhagen and Harvard University.
