About Me

I received my Ph.D. in Economics from the Georgia Institute of Technology. My research is in environmental and development economics, with a particular focus on the economic impacts of climate change on migration, health, and trade.

My dissertation, Three Essays on the Economic Impacts of Climate Change: Evidence from Migration, Health, and Agricultural Trade, combines panel data econometrics, gravity models, and spatial analysis to examine how a changing climate reshapes where people move, how healthy they are, and what countries trade.

My job market paper, Türkiye at the Crossroads: Climate Change Impacts and Internal Migration, estimates how shifting climate conditions drive internal migration across Türkiye and what this implies for the regions people leave behind and the cities that receive them.

My published work has appeared in Energy & Environment. A full list of papers is on my research page. Please feel free to contact me at sors3@gatech.edu.
