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 communication, 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 Center for Climate Change and Social Transformations (CAST), 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.
