Welcome to my website!

I am a PhD candidate in the Department of Economics at the University of Utah and currently on the 2026–2027 job market. [Job Market Paper] [CV]

My research is in environmental and energy economics, where I study how the costs and benefits of environmental policy and environmental change are distributed. I bring an industrial organization perspective to these questions, asking how market structure and regulatory design mediate the incidence of policy. A related strand of interest of mine is how behavioral factors shape both the political feasibility and the effectiveness of environmental policies.

My job market paper studies how the organization of the retail market shapes who gains from a targeted electric vehicle subsidy. I use the institutional design of the subsidy program, together with transaction-level vehicle registration records, to ask how prices respond across sellers the program’s rules bind and those they do not bind.

My dissertation has been recently awarded the Wilkes Dissertation Fellowship by the Wilkes Center for Climate Science and Policy, University of Utah, and I will present this work at the Wilkes Climate Summit in 2027.

I have teaching experience in microeconomics, public policy, econometrics and statistics, and mathematics for economists at the graduate and undergraduate levels.

Beyond academic life, I enjoy cooking and all forms of art. Here are some snippets from my sketchbook.
