Bio

I am a Ph.D. candidate in Economics at the University of California, San Diego.

In my research, I aim to understand how firms finance and innovate as they navigate the transition to a more sustainable and resilient future. My work combines structural modeling and micro data to explore the complexity of investor preferences, the uncertainty of physical risks, and the design of industrial policies in this transformative process.

Prior to my doctoral studies, I also hold a Master of Science in Financial Mathematics from the University of Chicago.
