He has conducted multiple field experiments on topics such as water quality information and household behavior, cleaner cookstove adoption, and rural water and sanitation program impacts.
In the energy and development space, he works on cleaner cooking solutions, energy access and reliability measurement, and broader assessments of energy systems in low-income settings. He is also a co-founder of the Sustainable Energy Transitions Initiative (SETI) and collaborates with the Energy Access Project at Duke.
