I am an environmental economist and Postdoctoral Research Scholar at North Carolina State University, where I work in collaboration with the U.S. Forest Service evaluating the economic impacts of Hurricane Helene on the Southern forest sector. My research spans natural resource governance, institutional analysis, and economic impact assessment across forest and water systems in South Asia and beyond. I combine econometric modeling, geospatial analysis, and cost-benefit analysis to produce rigorous, policy-relevant research.
