Research Areas: Empirical Operations | Energy & Sustainability | Digital Platforms | Fairness
My research lies at the intersection of technology, energy, and sustainability, with a focus on system design and operations in data-rich, digitally mediated, and energy-intensive environments. Primarily, I use empirical methods—drawing on machine learning, econometrics, and causal inference—to study emerging energy technologies, such as online solar marketplaces and EV smart charging, and how they can be optimized for real-world implementation. Specifically, I examine how these systems function in practice, especially in relation to user behavior, market design, and broader social and climate goals, as well as how we can design them to be fairer and more accountable.
I am on the 2025–2026 academic job market.
