I am a Ph.D. candidate in the Department of Government at Harvard University. I am a political economist interested in the politics of energy transitions and business lobbying more broadly.

In my Job Market Paper I study how policymakers strategically design climate policies to expand the political coalition in support of the energy transition. I also study how coalitional strategies shape informational lobbying, and how family firms have an advantage in the use of campaign contributions in developing countries. To address my research questions, I use formal models, original data collection, and causal inference methods.

I am on the job market. See my Job Market Paper, “Inefficient Policies in the Green Transition” here, my CV, and my research.
