Welcome! I am an economist doing research at the intersection of development economics, urban / spatial economics and environmental economics.

I am an Assistant Professor at UC Berkeley Goldman School of Public Policy.

I was previously a postdoctoral scholar at the Institute for Climate and Sustainable Growth at the University of Chicago and a visiting professor at Makerere University’s Department of Economics.

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.
