My research combines economics with datasets and methodologies from remote sensing, data science, and climate science to quantify how environmental change and economic development shape one another. My work focuses on climate change, water scarcity, and the use of remote sensing for global-scale environmental and socioeconomic monitoring. I am an active member of the Climate Impact Lab, the Director of the Climate & Energy Program at the Environmental Markets Lab, a research affiliate at CEGA, a Beijer Young Scholar, a faculty research fellow at the National Bureau of Economic Research, and a member of the National Academy of Sciences Environmental Health Matters Initiative Standing Committee.
