“Working at EPIC has been an amazing experience in giving me the opportunity to fully engage with the research process, and to examine issues related to environmental economics. I learnt so much from Professor Fiona Burlig about what impactful academic research should look like, in terms of searching for questions and answering them. I am thankful for all the mentorship and support I received at EPIC, as well as the friends I made along the way.”
