Nice to Meet You

I am a recent Ph.D. graduate in Agricultural, Environmental, and Development Economics at the Ohio State University in Columbus, OH.  Originally from Hong Kong, I studied abroad in Taiwan and the United Kingdom before pursuing my doctoral degree in the United States.

I am an environmental economist and am primarily interested in the following research questions:

• What are the mechanisms of land use change and its consequences on natural habitats?

• How does land use change impact the health/socio-economic outcomes of the nearby neighborhood?

• Do conservation policies achieve their ecological, social, and economic goals?

To address these research questions, I rely heavily on geospatial and household survey data for the analyses.

I like traveling and enjoy meeting people from different backgrounds. I enjoyed the time when I was backpacking in Europe and sharing life stories with people staying in the same hostel. As a hiker, I like exploring Metro parks in Columbus and State parks in Ohio. I also appreciate arts and classical music.
