Student Involvement and Collaboration

Collaboration with student researchers has always been an essential part of advancing meaningful scholarship and fostering innovation. I have actively engaged students in my research, providing opportunities to gain hands-on experience while contributing to ongoing projects.

The lab is currently (10/7/2026) accepting applications for a 4-5 months paid student internship. This position is open until filled. Interested students can apply here: https://www.ugajobsearch.com/postings/508543   

I strongly encourage student researchers to take initiative by brainstorming independent ideas and drafting proposals for research grants. I am always open to discussing potential projects, offering feedback, and exploring avenues for future collaboration.

Above all, I warmly welcome innovative research ideas and collaborative partnerships that support the lab’s mission of connecting communities and coasts through economic research and extension, with a focus on advancing the economics of coastal and marine resource management.
