Economist
advancing evidence‑based
energy policy
PhD candidate specializing in environmental macroeconomics, renewable energy transitions, and quantitative land‑use analysis for decarbonization. I build evidence‑driven research to inform sustainable policy, guide energy system planning, and optimize the pathway to net‑zero economies.
Core Domains
Macroeconomics & Energy Transition
Growth, inflation, policy trade‑offs in decarbonization.
Land‑Use Optimization for Renewables
Siting strategies, policy design, dual‑use deployment.
Econometric Modeling & Data Analysis
Time series, causal inference, scenario analysis.
Land use & the green transition
Quantifying technical and economic potential for renewables in Germany and the US; evaluating siting strategies, policy levers, and dual‑use deployment to reduce land constraints and accelerate clean capacity.
Macroeconomic policy analysis
Work on inflation, growth, and the consequences of central bank targets to inform policy choices and communication.
Theoretical and Applied Econometrics
Building a sequential-choice model of omnichannel behavior and estimating stage-by-stage platform selection with advanced econometrics (GEE/logit) on seven-category survey data to quantify information frictions, switching costs, price sensitivity, and integration effects across the shopping journey.
