PhD Student, Energy and Resources Group, University of California, Berkeley
I am a PhD student in the Energy and Resources Group at the University of California, Berkeley. I research the role 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.
Research Interests
My research uses qualitative and quantitative methods to examine the political, economic, and environmental aspects of critical mineral supply chains for energy transitions. This research relates to debates around political economy, political ecology, human-environment geography, and environmental sociology, among other areas.
