Welcome to my page!

I am an economist with research interests spanning climate finance, climate risks, energy transition, and public policy. I am currently working as a consultant at the World Bank.

My research quantifies the climate finance needs of countries to meet their climate goals under the Paris Agreement. I also examine the underlying drivers of climate pledges in multilateral climate policy.  I collaborate with engineers, economists, and political scientists. 

I have worked on the role of finance and public policy in the energy transition, the impact of natural disasters on structural transformation and labor markets, and the techno-economic-environmental impacts of energy policy. My research has been published in leading peer-reviewed journals, and I have experience engaging with policymakers at the local, national, and global levels. 

I completed a PhD at ETH Zurich, an MSc at SOAS, University of London, and a BSc in Economics at Ahmadu Bello University.  Outside of work, I enjoy volunteering, hiking, listening to Afrobeats, and reading The New Yorker.
