"I have been a member of the reasearch community at the Canada’s largest water research project, Global Water Futures at the University of Waterloo since January 2018, when I received a grant from the Canada First Research Excellence Fund. In January 2023, I completed my Ph.D. in Applied Economics. Fervently pursuing interdisciplinary research, I have characterized my research in the fields of agricultural and environmental economics, low-carbon hydrogen-ammonia energy, investment under uncertainty, optimization of decision-making and computational modeling. Integrated modeling techniques, risk-neutral valuation, stochastic optimization, numerical solutions for PDE, dynamic programming, the Monte Carlo approach, and social impact survey are frequently employed in my research, which focuses on sustainability issues related to carbon emission, agricultural NPS pollution, weather uncertainty, market risk, and climate change. In addition to research, I enjoy photographing, reading, playing badminton, writing poems, and studying history and archaeology."
