Welcome!

I am an Economist and applied microeconomist with a Ph.D. in Public Policy & Management from Carnegie Mellon University and B.S./M.S. degrees in Economics from the University of São Paulo (USP).

My work blends industrial organization, energy & environmental economics, and antitrust/competition analysis with the quantitative rigor demanded by leading economic consulting firms.

Before my doctorate, I worked in economic consulting in Brazil, delivering business intelligence, merger review, and antitrust litigation analyses for large multinational clients and government agencies.

That experience informs my current projects, which use causal inference (DiD, RD, matching, synthetic control, DML)and structural demand models (nested logit, random-coefficients/BLP) to evaluate market power, regulatory impacts, and energy-transition policies.

I routinely handle large administrative and market datasets, design reproducible research pipelines, and translate technical findings into clear recommendations for legal teams, regulators, and corporate decision-makers.

I am eager to bring a mix of rigorous econometrics, market design insight, and real-world consulting experience to challenging projects in litigation support, competition policy, and energy market strategy.
