Welcome to my website!

I’m a Postdoctoral Researcher at Graduate School of Economics and Management at the University of Geneva. Before, I completed my PhD in economics at Sciences Po Paris under the supervision of Johannes Boehm and Stefan Pollinger. My research lies at the intersection of environmental economics and industrial organization.

During the second year of the PhD, I joined the International Energy Agency (IEA) as a part-time Junior Energy Analyst in the Power Markets Division. Before, I obtained my master’s degree in Economics from the University of Mannheim and worked as an energy policy consultant at the Institute of Energy Economics (EWI) in Cologne.

Specifically, I use structural methods to study the dynamics of green technology adoption in concentrated industries under varying environmental regulations. Additionally, I work on the market design of emissions trading systems. Earlier work focused on empirical evaluations of the local economic impacts of wind power deployment and the emission-reducing effects of international climate finance using econometric inference.
