Hello!

• As a Postdoctoral Fellow at the Harvard Center for Climate, Health, and the Global Environment ( C-CHANGE), my research focuses on evaluating the health and economic impacts of climate mitigation and adaptation measures across local and global scales.

• Backed by a Ph.D. in Economics from the University of California, Santa Barbara, and a Master’s in Public Policy from the University of Chicago, my work bridges applied economics and public health. I integrate quasi-experimental designs, machine learning, and high-resolution spatial data to examine how environmental conditions and policy interventions shape health, inequality, and welfare within urban environments.

• Previously, I worked as an Economist at Amazon. In this role, I applied sophisticated causal inference methodologies, such as Double Machine Learning and Matching DID, to extract actionable insights from observational and experimental data.
