Description

I am a data-driven climate risk modelling and analytics specialist with a PhD in climate studies, passionate about applying scientific methods to address challenges in climate economics, particularly within sustainable finance and macroeconomics. Currently, I work as a Business Analyst, where I focus on the structured implementation of climate credit risk models using quantitative and statistical approaches. Previously, I worked as a climate risk modeler, where I specialized in developing and validating models to assess climate-related financial risks.

I have strong expertise in data analysis, statistical modelling, and risk assessment, with hands-on experience using Python for data processing, machine learning, and visualization. My work involves interpreting large climate and financial datasets to evaluate physical and transitional climate risks, ESG factors, and their impacts on investment decisions. I aim to bridge scientific insight and data science to support informed decision-making and identify sustainable investment opportunities through the analysis of regional ESG climate policies.
