I am an associate professor of economics at the University of Connecticut, specializing in environmental economics and industrial organization. I am interested in designing better policies through mining large micro-data and, specifically, evaluating the effectiveness of environmental policies and impacts of strategic individual behavior. My work has been published in American Economic Review, Environmental and Resource Economics, PLOS ONE, and Marine Resource Economics, among other journals (Google Scholar Link). I am currently studying sustainable urbanization policies through analyzing satellite images with machine learning algorithms in computer vision, which is part of my larger research agenda on how to optimize the usage of natural resources across both time and space using advanced dynamic models and cutting-edge computer vision technology. I received my Ph.D. from Duke University and, prior to joining the University of Connecticut, I was a postdoctoral fellow at the University of British Columbia.
