I currently work as assistant professor in Food and Resource Economics at the University of British Columbia. Before starting at UBC, I was a postdoctoral fellow at Harvard with the Data Science Initiative and the Center for the Environment. I received my PhD in Agriculture and Resource Economics from UC Berkeley in 2019.

My group develops and applies new methods to empirically estimate anthropogenic impacts on climate and, in turn, on global socio-environmental systems. I'm particularly fascinated by how light, water, and temperature jointly determine crop growth and how high resolution imagery can be used to measure socio-environmental conditions. My research uses tools from economics, agronomy, climate science, remote sensing, and machine learning to help answer policy-relevant questions. 

If you are interested in joining my research group as a PhD student or post doc, please contact me.

If you are interested in learning some of the techniques used in my research, please consider taking my course on Spatial Data Science (FRE_V 430, Winter Term 2, 2026).
