Hello,
I am a researcher at Citadel Commodities, where I build economic and statistical models of commodities markets. Working with teams investing across various sectors such as natural gas and power, I analyze demand, supply and price dynamics to for these rapidly evolving industries.
Previously, I was a Research Scientist at Stanford University's Precourt Institute for Energy, where I led the materials supply chain modeling for STEER. STEER is a Department of Energy backed initiative that uses techno-economic systems analysis to guide investment, innovation, and policy for the energy transition. I led analysis on graphite, engaging heavily with policymakers and industry on identifying strategies to scale the supply chain for the critical mineral.
I have published extensively on materials supply chain analysis, guiding decision-making via economic modeling and policy analysis. Projects include: estimating the competitiveness of various graphite production pathways; assessing water resource impacts and trade risks for future mining projects; modeling the cost and availability of battery metals (lithium, nickel) across energy-transition scenarios; identifying strategies to improve plastic recycling in the US; and Bayesian hierarchical modeling of material demand. Find my published work here.
I also co-founded The Critical Minerals Research Lab, a virtual program for interdisciplinary student collaboration and served as a Guest Editor for a special issue in Resources, Conservation, and Recycling titled "Establishing Resilient and Sustainable Supply Chain of Critical Materials".
