PhD Candidate
Energy, Environmental, and Climate Change Economics
Advisor: Ian Sue Wing.
Nicholas’s research focuses on how policies influence energy systems, CO₂ emissions, and macroeconomic outcomes—particularly in the context of climate change mitigation, global decarbonization, and sustainable development.
He develops and uses analytical and computable general equilibrium (CGE) models to assess the effects of climate change policies. These include carbon pricing policies implemented across the world, the international carbon pricing floor, and renewable energy investments by multilateral development banks in emerging and developing economies.
He holds an MA in Earth and Environment from Boston University and an SB in Mathematics from MIT, with minors in Earth, Atmospheric, and Planetary Sciences and Political Science. At MIT, he conducted undergraduate research on energy, environment, and sustainability, applying data analysis, computational modeling, and quantitative methods.
