I am an Environmental Fellow hosted by the Harvard Kennedy School of Government and the Salata Institute for Climate and Sustainability. I received my doctorate in Electrical Engineering from ETH Zürich. My research uses tools from operations research, electrical engineering, and economics to design decarbonized energy systems. I focus on electricity market design, power systems operations and planning, and electrification of the building and transportation sectors. I received the S.M. in Electrical Engineering & Computer Science and S.M. in Technology & Policy from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and a B.S.E. from Princeton University. I am also a Resident Tutor in the Dudley Community at Harvard.
