About me
About me
Ph.D. in Economics, University of Minnesota.
I am a macroeconomist working at the intersection of macroeconomics, climate economics, and public finance. My research focuses on the optimal design of climate policy, with applications to demographic change, inequality, fiscal policy, and intergenerational equity.
Since 2020, I have served as Director of Undergraduate Studies at Torcuato Di Tella University, overseeing the Business Economics and Business Administration programs. I lead the academic planning and strategic development of both programs, working closely with faculty and staff on curriculum design and program management.
