Biography

I am a dedicated and innovative researcher in energy economics; my work seeks to bridge the gap between academic research and practical policy-making. I recently completed PhD in Economics from GMU. My dissertation focused on the impacts of regulations and ordinances on residential solar markets. I am driven by the idea that energy innovation is essential for economic growth.
