About
I explore fostering data science for the design of efficient and sensible climate policies. My research looks at the entire universe of climate policy instruments including mitigation, adaptation, carbon removal and solar geoengineering. Solar geoengineering is relatively less known but is receiving an increasing attention as indicated by the recent reports by the UNEP and a congressionally-mandated report by the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy.
