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 endeavors revolve around the application of behavioral economic theories and experimental economic methods. My primary focus lies in unraveling the intricate connections between food systems, food policy, and human decision-making processes that underpin agricultural sustainability concerns. My research covers both consumption and production sides of agricultural systems. In the past, I have conducted studies to understand consumer preferences for eco-labeled food products, the issue of food waste among consumers, and the challenges associated with sustainable technology adoption for 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.

I have also had privilege of collaborating with researchers from other fields to engage in outreach efforts. In this capacity, I develop economic decision support tools and assess the economic viability of implementing sustainable agricultural production technologies and practices within farm operations. My work has resulted in a few university’s extension publications and presentations. [Download my CV]
