Suraj Gurung

I am a Second-year Ph.D. student in Applied Economics at the University of Florida. I completed my Bachelor of Science from Agriculture and Forestry University, Nepal, and my M.S. in Agriculture and Resource Economics from the University of Delaware. Previously, I also worked as a graduate research assistant at the Center for Experimental and Applied Economics (CEAE).

As for my research interest, I am particularly interested in understanding consumer behavior in issues related to health, nutrition, and ever-changing food choices. Additionally, I seek to positively influence policy and programs in mitigating poverty and improving the welfare of poor communities in developing countries using experimental and behavioral insights.

I am an avid traveler and enjoy hiking and trekking in the mountains. I also enjoy cooking food while listening to some acoustic music.
