I am interested in academic research in environmental finance, and have been working as a research associate under a professor at Copenhagen Business School for nearly 3 years now. I am currently going to pursue Masters in Economics of Climate Change and Sustainability at Barcelona School of Economics. I have also interned at some corporate organisations in environmental and sustainability consulting.
