Bio
I am an economist specializing in Industrial Organization, with a research focus on public health policies and their role in managing obesity. My work explores how market structures, consumer behavior, and regulatory frameworks influence food consumption. Through this research, I aim to contribute insights that help inform policy interventions addressing public health challenges, particularly those related to food environments and obesity prevention.
