About Me

I am a Ph.D. candidate in Economics at the University of California, Santa Barbara. My research interests include the economics of the energy and environment and policy issues relevant to labor, health, and inequality. I am currently studying the economic costs of energy transition such as labor reallocation costs of fossil fuel workers and fiscal rupture in coal-rich local governments.
