Introduction
I am an assistant professor in the School of Public Policy at Penn State University. In my research, I use econometric tools to examine human-environmental interactions related to environmental health, water and sanitation, air pollution, human capital accumulation, and water resource management. My research includes work to understand the processes by which households adopt and use environmental health technologies, the health and educational consequences of ambient air pollution exposure, and the economic implications of water resource management. I also study energy and environmental policy applications. I received my Ph.D. in public policy, with a concentration in economics, from the Sanford School of Public Policy at Duke University. I also hold a M.A. in economics from Duke University and B.A.s in economics and political science from Moravian College.
