About Me

I am currently an Assistant Professor in the Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Management at University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa.

My research builds micro-foundations for conservation and sustainable resource management in aquatic ecosystems,focusing on how human activities affect both ecosystem health and resource-dependent communities under climate change pressures. Through interdisciplinary methodological approaches combining econometrics, mathematical programming, dynamic optimization, and spatial analysis, I contribute to the advancement of natural resource management through research on sustainable use practices and climate adaptation strategies across varying levels of data availability.
