WELCOME!

I am currently a Postdoctoral Fellow in the Department of Economics at the University of Southern California and also serve as a Research Fellow in the School of Population and Public Health at the University of British Columbia. My research synthesizes theories and tools from Public Health, Economics and Environmental Science to understand the economic implications of air pollution and climate change. 

My work spans several key areas of research. First, I investigate the social costs of air pollution and climate change, as well as the benefits of various environmental policies. Second, I provide evidence-based insights to help design effective strategies for reducing emissions across various sectors, with a focus on healthcare, agriculture, energy, and transportation. Third, I explore the multifaceted effects of health policies and interventions on patient behavior, health outcomes, economic costs, and climate change. Through interdisciplinary approach, my research offers valuable perspectives on balancing environmental and health regulations with economic development, while promoting social wellbeing and health equity.
