I am an Associate Professor of Economics at Carnegie Mellon University in Qatar.
My research focuses on various topics within applied microeconomics. I am especially interested in how individuals respond and adapt to the challenges posed by climate change. I also study human behavior in competitive environments, exploring the psychological and strategic dimensions of contests. My research has been featured in The Economist and The Globe and Mail.
Previously, I was a Junior Professional Associate at the World Bank. I have also taught at Baruch College and was Visiting Faculty in Strelka Institute’s New Normal postgraduate program. I have also worked as a consultant for IBM and the World Bank.
