Corporate Finance and Decarbonisation

I am a Lecturer (Assistant Professor) in Economics and Finance of Sustainability and Deputy Director of Research at the UCL Institute for Sustainable Resources. My research examines the role of corporations in the low-carbon transition, with a focus on firms’ investment decisions under uncertainty, the exposure of energy and energy-intensive sectors to climate-related financial risks, and the alignment of corporate decarbonisation pathways with global climate targets.

I obtained my Ph.D. from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Before joining UCL, I was an Advanced Research Fellow at Imperial College Business School, and a postdoctoral research associate at DCI, an asset management firm specialising in corporate credit strategies. Currently, I am also a Rising Leaders Fellow of the Aspen Institute UK and a Member of the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) Expert Advisory Group (EAG) for the Power Sector Standard Development.
