As a DPhil candidate in International Development at St Antony's College, University of Oxford, my research examines the energy transition's potential to foster growth in developing countries. Specifically, I study Mexico's capacity to manufacture solar panels and how these innovations can help bridge global and sub-national development gaps.
My work explores the role of the United States in fostering or hindering these catching-up opportunities, particularly in light of initiatives like the Inflation Reduction Act and the CHIPS Act, which aim to localize manufacturing capabilities.
I hold a Master's in Public Administration in International Development (MPAID) from Harvard Kennedy School, where I specialized in energy policy and electricity market design. My thesis on Mexico's renewable energy auctions won the best thesis award and was published in journals at Harvard and the London School of Economics. Additionally, I served as a Teaching Assistant for Advanced Macroeconomics for the Open Economy.
Prior to my master's, I earned a bachelor's degree in Business Engineering from Instituto Tecnológico Autónomo de México (ITAM), graduating first in my class.
Speaking English, Spanish, German and French, I bring a multilingual perspective to my research and academic endeavors.
