Welcome! I am a PhD Candidate in Economics at the University of Chicago. My primary research fields are development economics, urban / spatial economics and environmental economics.

I am on the 2024-2025 Academic Job Market.

In my Job Market Paper, I examine how land acquisition threatens the net returns of road improvements in Kampala, Uganda.

More broadly, I study the challenges faced by developing cities, focusing on transportation infrastructure and environmental hazards. To that end, I use quantitative spatial models, novel survey data and randomized control trials in order to answer policy-relevant questions. My current projects span Uganda, Indonesia, India and (historical) France.

I am also a DRW PhD Fellow at EPIC.
