About me
I am a PhD student in Agricultural & Resource Economics at University of California, Berkeley. My primary research focus is at the intersection of information uncertainty, public policy, and climate change. My most recent projects explore uncertainty in pollution monitoring networks and regulation outcomes. Machine learning methods, remotely sensed data, and computer simulations are a few of the tools I employ to explore these areas.
