Welcome to my web­site! I am an as­sis­tant pro­fes­sor in the Department of Agricultural Economics and Agribusiness at Louisiana State University. Before join­ing LSU, I was a post­doc­toral re­search as­so­ci­ate at the Center for Business and Public Policy (CBPP) in the Gies College of Business at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. My re­search fo­cuses on us­ing large ad­min­is­tra­tive datasets and causal analy­sis meth­ods to ex­plore the so­cio-eco­nomic im­pacts of en­vi­ron­men­tal pol­lu­tion and the ef­fec­tive­ness of reg­u­la­tory poli­cies, with a par­tic­u­lar em­pha­sis on wa­ter-re­lated en­vi­ron­men­tal chal­lenges. My work sits at the in­ter­sec­tion of en­vi­ron­men­tal eco­nom­ics, health eco­nom­ics, and pub­lic eco­nom­ics.

I earned my Ph.D. in Public Policy from the University of Texas at Austin in 2021, a mas­ter’s de­gree in Public Administration from the University of Maryland, College Park in 2014, and a bach­e­lor’s de­gree in Economics from Wuhan University in 2012.
