Now
(The purpose of a now page.)
I'm currently in New York City, doing a pre-doctoral program at NYU Stern's Volatility and Risk Institute, under the supervision of Johannes Stroebel. I am working on quantifying the effects of biodiversity loss on the economy, as well as analysing the impacts of different climate transition policies on firm behaviour and performance.
