Welcome to my website!

I am a Ph.D. Candidate in Applied Economics at Cornell University. Here is my CV.

Fields of interest:

Development Economics, Food and Agricultural Economics, Behavioral Research

Methodologies:

Dynamic Optimization, Machine Learning, Statistical Modeling

My current research focuses on examining social welfare policies, such as food pantries and SNAP, to address food security challenges, while also investigating supply chain management strategies to ensure food safety. With a strong foundation in operations research and statistics from my bachelor’s and master’s degrees, I apply machine learning and advanced statistical modeling to tackle real-world issues in applied economics. Additionally, I analyze public policy through the lens of behavioral economics, striving to provide insights that can inform more effective and equitable policy solutions.
