I am a first year PhD student in the Applied Economics program. I am most interested in applied microeconomic research with a focus on the environment, development, demography, and issues of indigenous communities. I also have an interest in investigating the spatial relationships of these topics through geocomputation and data science techniques. I believe my research interests and values align with the MPC's mission and I would be a valuable graduate student member.
