I am an environmental macroeconomist specializing in the intersection of economic growth, innovation, and sustainability. My research combines theory and empirics to explore energy transitions, technological innovation, and the role of environmental policies in shaping long-run economic outcomes. Using patent data, I study how innovation drives changes in the energy sector and contributes to broader environmental and economic transformations.
