Biography

I am an Agricultural Economist passionate about generating knowledge that helps policymakers, farmers, and institutions make informed decisions. I enjoy bringing people and ideas together to address complex agricultural and environmental challenges, using a combination of social and economic data.

I am currently pursuing a PhD in Agricultural and Resource Economics, with a focus on developing innovative econometric approaches to support sustainable agriculture. Through my research, I aim to contribute to evidence-based solutions that can help build a more sustainable and resilient agricultural future.

As I am a full-time Phd Student at the UWA School of Agriculture and Environment, my responsibility is to conduct independent and high-quality research. I am responsible for producing original research outcomes. I also aim to work collaboratively with my supervisors and research colleagues, participate in the academic life of the School, attend relevant seminars and training, maintain research integrity, and communicate my findings effectively to academic, policy, and industry audiences.

Research interests

My current and future research focuses on the following areas in agricultural economics:

  • Technical efficiency and Profitability
  • Farmer's risk attitude and decision-making
  • Yield gaps and Productivity
  • Agricultural Credit and Financial access
  • Climate Change impacts on agriculture
  • Enabling climate change mitigation and adaptation strategies
  • Sustainable and climate-smart agriculture
