About

Ina recently completed her PhD in Environmental Economics at the London School of Economics. Her thesis investigates how extreme weather events, environmental conditions and climate uncertainty shape economic outcomes, with a particular focus on climate adaptation and innovation.

Ina’s work combines advanced econometrics, large-scale data and spatial methods with theoretical modelling informed by stochastic calculus and real-option theory. She regularly works with complex empirical workflows and has strong programming skills in R, along with practical experience in Python and Git for version control.

Her current research interests lie in impact analyses of physical climate risks and extreme weather events, and in understanding how firms and financial markets can respond to build resilience and support long-run economic adaptation.

Ina holds a Master in Public Policy from UCLA and a BA in Economics from the University of Cambridge.
