Job description

As a Postdoctoral Research Fellow, I conduct independent research in environmental and natural resource economics, contributing to ongoing projects and new initiatives. I also engage in academic activities, including courses, collaborations, publications, and student mentoring.

Currently, I am involved in the Dsolve project’s work package "Governance Incentives to Increase the Use of Biodegradable Materials," addressing plastic litter issues in the fishery and aquaculture industries.

Research interests

My research in the Dsolve project focuses on governance incentives to enhance the adoption of biodegradable materials, addressing plastic litter issues in the fishery and aquaculture industries. Through this work package, I explore policy mechanisms, regulatory frameworks, and economic incentives that can drive sustainable material use, reducing environmental harm.

Building on my PhD research, which centered on the economic and environmental dimensions of aquaculture—particularly the sustainability challenges and climate impacts on shrimp farming—I bring a strong interdisciplinary perspective. My work integrates economic analysis with environmental policy to develop effective governance strategies for reducing plastic pollution in aquaculture, contributing to both industry sustainability and marine ecosystem protection.
