Welcome! I am a Ph.D. candidate in Economics at the University of California, Santa Barbara. My fields are resource & environmental economics, applied game theory, and public economics. You can find my CV here: CV link. 

We all hate mosquitoes. But have you ever worried about getting a disease from a mosquito bite?

• That risk really depends on where you live. The mosquitoes that transmit diseases are mostly in tropical regions — but because of global warming, they’re expanding into the U.S. and other temperate countries.

• In my job market paper, I study how innovation incentives change when biological threats expand into developed countries.

• I built a new spatial dynamic game framework that decomposes multiple externalities, integrates biological and public health modeling, and allows for tractable structural estimation.

I have served as course instructor in a variety of classroom settings—from large undergraduate lectures with 150 students, to small, intensive Ph.D. math camp with 10 students. I have also been a teaching assistant for seven different undergraduate and Ph.D. courses.
