I am a Postdoctoral scholar with the Micheli Lab at Stanford, where I study coupled human-ocean systems, with an emphasis on the design and evaluation of policy interventions that seek to conserve and manage natural resources. I am particularly interested in how ecological processes shape human incentives and how human actions can modify the environment. I draw from my training in oceanography, ecology and environmental economics and combine geo-spatial, econometric, and machine learning methods into my research, and focus my questions around Marine Protected Areas and fisheries. I will soon be joining the University of Miami as an Assistant Professor at the Rosenstiel School of Marine, Atmospheric & Earth Science and the Frost Institute for Data Science & Computing.
