Welcome! I am an agricultural economist and data scientist. I am currently a Ph.D. candidate at the Department of Agricultural and Resource Economics, UC Davis. 

My research interests include food retail and service businesses, food and agricultural policy, and climate change. My work uses causal and data science approaches to examine how technology, policy, and climate affect producers, retailers, and consumers. My current projects focus on three areas: (1) the impact of digital technologies on food retail businesses, (2) the long run effects of food policies, and (3) how the food supply chain reacts to climate change.
