PhD Candidate, Energy and Resources Group, University of California, Berkeley

I am a PhD candidate in the Energy and Resources Group at the University of California, Berkeley. I research the political economy of critical minerals in clean energy transitions, with a focus on China and Latin America. I also conduct related research with the Climate Policy Lab in The Fletcher School at Tufts University and the Klinger Lab at the University of Delaware.

My research uses qualitative and quantitative methods to examine the political economy of critical mineral supply chains for energy transitions. My dissertation centers on lithium and copper supply chains across several countries, including China, Argentina, and Chile.
