I am a Regional Economist with an interdisciplinary focus on human-environmental topics. My research encompasses environmental issues, renewable energy, economics of natural disasters and analysis of structural change. In the last years I have been working with input-output analysis, spatial econometrics, integrated economic-environmental-health systems and impact evaluations. I am currently a Researcher III at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL). In the past, I was a research assistant at the Regional Economics Applications Laboratory (REAL), and the Philip R. Israilevich Distinguished Research Fellow for 2017-2018. I am a member of the International Input-Output Association (IIOA), the Regional Science Association International (RSAI), and the Agricultural & Applied Economics Association (AAEA).
