Microeconomist | Econometrics | Climate Change | International Trade

I am a Fulbright PhD candidate in agricultural economics at Kansas State University, specializing in applied microeconomics with a focus on econometrics, climate change, and international agricultural trade. My research examines how climate variability and extreme weather events affect trade competitiveness, production efficiency, and food security under the supervision of Dr. Nelson Villoria, using advanced panel econometric methods and large-scale datasets from sources such as PRISM, CMIP6, EM-DAT, and USDA.

My three-chapter dissertation models the economic consequences of climate change on global agricultural trade, providing actionable insights to strengthen supply chain resilience, particularly for corn and soybeans in the US Midwest and rice and wheat in South Asia.

With over seven years of experience in data analysis and economic research across academic, non-profit, and corporate settings, I bring deep technical expertise in Stata, Python (pandas, scikit-learn), and Power BI, coupled with strong econometric and policy analysis skills.

My goal is to bridge economic modeling and real-world policy, advancing sustainable and climate-resilient food systems through rigorous, data-driven research.
