About Me
I am an applied economist working on agriculture, energy, and the environment and an Associate Research Scientist in the Department of Agricultural Economics at Texas A&M University. My research examines how climate shocks, environmental change, and technological innovation affect agricultural and energy systems, with the goal of improving the resilience and sustainability of economic systems under climate stress.
My work combines applied econometrics, optimization modeling, and integrated environmental–economic assessment to analyze how environmental risks propagate through markets and supply chains. I study how climate variability, extreme events, and technological transitions influence production systems, resource use, and market outcomes.
My research agenda focuses on two main areas: (1) climate shocks and economic resilience in agricultural and energy systems, and (2) environmental and economic evaluation of emerging low-carbon technologies and sustainable production systems.
Research Interests
Turning captured CO2 into biodegradable bioplastics. I estimated the social benefits of replacing fossil plastics by valuing the environmental damages avoided.
