Welcome to my homepage!

I am an assistant professor of agricultural economics in the Department of Agricultural Sciences and Sandhill Research and Education Center at Clemson University.

My current research focuses on agribusiness and economics related to specialty crops. My past and current research endeavors include identifying consumer preferences, exploring marketing opportunities, conducting economic feasibility analyses, and addressing technology adoption challenges for specialty crop producers. My work has been published on peer-reviewed journals such as Agribusiness: An International Journal, Applied Economics, Ecological Economics, HortTechnology, and Water Resources Research.

Meanwhile, I have also engage in outreach efforts. In this capacity, I develop economic decision support tools and assess the economic viability of sustainable agricultural production technologies and practices. Through this work, I aim to provide actionable insights to enhance the sustainability and profitability of specialty crop production systems. My work has resulted in a few extension publications and presentations. [Download my CV]
