I am an assistant professor in the Department of Environmental Studies at the University of Colorado Boulder. I am primarily an environmental and natural resource economist, though I studied computer science and worked in the software industry before earning my PhD.

Much of my work is focused on empirically quantifying impacts of both environmental disturbances and policies, while a second strand uses tools from game theory and dynamic optimization in the service of natural resource management and conservation. I enjoy collaborating with many smart people from other disciplines.

I have taught a range of topics, spanning undergraduate courses in environmental studies and climate adaptation through to graduate-level offerings in econometrics, applied statistics, and natural resource economics.
