About

I am a Ph.D. candidate in Agricultural and Resource Economics at the University of Maryland, College Park.

My research focuses on energy and environmental economics, particularly wholesale electricity markets, renewable energy integration, and market power. My job market paper examines how wind generation affects conventional generators' strategic bidding behavior and the implications of market power for the welfare gains from renewable energy integration. Beyond electricity markets, I am also interested in environmental justice and agricultural adaptation to climate change.
