Prior to joining our Faculty in January 2012, Smukler spent three years at The Earth Institute at Columbia University as a Post Doctoral Fellow and then an Associate Research Scientist in the Tropical Agriculture and Rural Environment Program. His research was focused on the Millennium Village project, a large-scale development project mainly in Sub-Saharan Africa, where he evaluated the environmental impacts of interventions at project sites in Tanzania and Kenya and helped in the baseline analysis of a new site in Haiti.
