Research interests

I'm a development economist with a passion for fostering strong sustainability strategies in the context of economic transitions. My research delves into the fourth energy transition towards renewable energy, exploring its impacts on human and environmental wellbeing from a post-growth perspective.This transition, while essential, is often accompanied by conflicts over land, water, and the extraction of metals and minerals, as well as growing pressures on ecosystems and vulnerable communities. To address these challenges, my work aims to evaluate policies in the energy sector, focusing on both production and consumption, to understand how justice-oriented strategies can limit inequalities and resource use.Through case studies, I employ a mixed-methods approach, combining computable general equilibrium (CGE) models with qualitative data collection to analyze the social, environmental, and economic trade-offs of various energy transition strategies.
