Hello :)

I am a PhD student in Science, Technology, and Environmental Policy (STEP) at Princeton University, advised by Prof. Michael Oppenheimer and Prof. Filiz Garip. Before Princeton, I was a Research Assistant at the Center for Climate Systems Research, Columbia University / NASA GISS. I have training in mathematics, econometrics, and data science.

I study the socio-economic impacts of climate, using machine learning and causal inference to understand how environmental shocks affect human outcomes in both present-day and historical settings.
