Bio

I am an Associate Professor of Environmental Studies at New York University and Chair of the International Nitrogen Initiative. My research develops and evaluates new governance options for addressing nutrient pollution, and examines how to manage the transition to a global agri-food system consistent with the Sustainable Development Goals. Prior to NYU, I was a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at The Earth Institute at Columbia University. I received my B.Sc. in Chemistry and Law (2009) from the University of Bristol in the UK and my M.A. (2012) and Ph.D. (2014) in Science, Technology and Environmental Policy from Princeton University.
