Welcome! I am an assistant professor in quantitative methods for agricultural economics at the Department of Food, Agricultural, and Resource Economics, the University of Guelph. I am also a faculty associate at Canadian Centre for Health Economics.
My research interests include food and agricultural economics, health economics, and environmental economics. My most recent work examines: (1) behavioral and health effects of food policies; (2) welfare impacts of food inflation; and (3) the role of retailers in food access.
I hold a Ph.D. in agricultural and resource economics from University of California, Davis, a M.Sc. in agricultural and resource economics from the University of Tokyo, and a B.Mgmt in financial management from Sun Yat-sen University.
