I am a Research Scientist specializing in agricultural economics, sustainable resource management, and climate resilience. My expertise includes analyzing agricultural policies, assessing the socio-economic impacts of climate change on agriculture, and developing sustainable solutions for water and land management in agriculture.
Currently involved in the PRIMA-funded WaterMellon project, focusing on developing drought-resilient cropping systems in the Mediterranean region. Working on a planned project using microalgae for drainage water treatment to produce organic fertilizer, exploring innovative and sustainable methods for nutrient recovery and waste management. Skilled in econometric analyses to evaluate the impacts of agricultural policies on environmental and economic outcomes, particularly related to water use and sustainability. Publications and Projects:
"Predicted Economic Impact of Adopting a Growing Degree Day Model to Manage Spotted Wing Drosophila in Tart Cherry Production in Michigan" – Highlights my experience in sustainability and agricultural impact modeling. Ongoing Projects: Agricultural climate resilience initiatives, water and land management studies, and policy evaluation within the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry.
Topic 3. Resource recovery and valorization
Topic 4. Economic, environmental and social implications of water reuse and recovered products
I am looking to join a project within the Water4All framework that focuses on sustainable water management, nutrient recovery, and water reuse in agricultural settings. My research interests align closely with projects aimed at improving water quality, enhancing resilience to climate-induced water stress, and developing innovative methods for wastewater treatment in agriculture.
Specifically, I am interested in projects that explore the use of microalgae for wastewater treatment and organic fertilizer production from microalgae biomass following treatment, as these areas complement my expertise and align with ongoing work in my institution. I bring experience in agricultural policy impact analysis, econometric modeling, and hands-on project management in water resource and sustainable agriculture initiatives.
I am seeking a project where I can contribute my skills in agricultural economics, climate resilience, and sustainable resource management while collaborating with multidisciplinary teams to develop innovative and impactful solutions in water management.
I am interested in networking with researchers and practitioners in sustainable agriculture, water resource management, and climate resilience. I am open to attending events that foster collaboration in these areas
