Welcome to my page!

I am an economist with interests spanning climate finance, climate risks, energy transition, and development economics. 

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 scientists to do this research. 

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.
