I am a Research Fellow at the University of Bath, supported by a Leverhulme Trust Early Career Fellowship and working with Professor Lorraine Whitmarsh MBE. The title of the project is Agents of the Status Quo: How elite influencers impact the ecological transition.
My research interests lie at the intersection of social science, data science, and the political economy of climate change. I use qualitative and quantitative methods to analyse complex issues related to the advancement of climate activism and policy.
Previously I was a postdoctoral researcher and junior scientist at the RFF-CMCC European Institute on Economics and the Environment (EIEE) in Milan, Italy. At EIEE, I worked on the EU Horizon CAPABLE project, investigating public acceptability of climate policy, the role of political actors, and assessments of approaches to citizen engagement. I am also interested in contributing to conversations around the moral, ethical, and environmental implications of AI in academic research.
I completed my Ph.D. at the University of Oxford in 2023, funded by the UK's Economic and Social Research Council on an Advanced Quantitative Methods studentship. In 2021-2022, I worked for the Science, Technology, and Innovation Directorate of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD). I earned my MSc also from Oxford (2018) and my Bachelors from the University of Pennsylvania (2017).
I am also affiliated with the Climate Social Science Network (CSSN), hosted by Brown University and the Centre for Research on Geography, Resources, Environment, Energy & Networks (Green) at Bocconi University.
In my free time, I enjoy hiking, rowing, and (fuelling my addiction to) podcasts.
