Welcome to my website!

I am a Postdoctoral Associate in the SCALES Program at Duke University's Nicholas School of the Environment, where I work with Yichun Fan on research examining flood risk, resilience investment, real estate markets, and municipal fiscal capacity.

My research interests include macroeconomics with a focus on environmental and energy economics, public economics, and industrial organization. My job market paper, Equity in Transition, shows that learning-by-doing and unequal pollution exposure mitigate the regressivity of residential clean energy subsidies. It uses a heterogeneous agent macroeconomic model with endogenous clean technology adoption and unequal pollution damages, in an empirical application based on data from the United States.

I earned a Ph.D. in Economics from Georgetown University in 2026, a Master's degree in Economics from Georgetown University in 2019, and a Bachelor's degree in Economics from Duke University in 2016.
