My research applies insights and methods from industrial organization and public economics to the study of environmental, energy, and climate policy. I am particularly interested in studying the design of politically-feasible climate mitigation and adaptation policies.

Beginning AY 2024-2025, I will join the faculty of the McCombs School of Business at the University of Texas at Austin as an Assistant Professor of Business, Government and Society and (by courtesy) of Economics.
