Projects
My projects combine economic modeling, geospatial analysis, optimization, and decision-support tools to evaluate how agricultural systems adapt to water scarcity, groundwater depletion, changing crop economics, and long-term sustainability challenges.
These projects represent my current and recent work across hydro-economic modeling, irrigation systems, bioenergy crop transitions, and geospatial agricultural analysis.
A hydro-economic optimization model evaluating how irrigated agriculture in the U.S. High Plains Aquifer may transition under groundwater depletion, irrigation capacity constraints, crop profitability, and reinvestment decisions.
Hydro-economic modeling, GAMS optimization, GIS, county-level agricultural data, aquifer decline indicators, crop budgets, and irrigation capacity scenarios.
This project examines whether perennial bioenergy crops, including switchgrass, can support transitions from water-intensive irrigated systems while contributing to conservation, carbon, and agricultural resilience goals.
Crop transition modeling, spatial analysis, economic feasibility assessment, groundwater constraint scenarios, and land-use allocation analysis.
An Excel-based decision-support tool for evaluating the economic feasibility of irrigation system upgrades using county-level climate, crop yield, energy, soil, slope, and investment data.
Excel/VBA, ArcGIS, Python workflows, crop budgets, energy prices, irrigation efficiency coefficients, climate datasets, and net present value analysis.
Research on agricultural policy, environmental regulation, and market outcomes, including spatial economic analysis of crop production, regulation, and trade impacts.
Agricultural economics, spatial equilibrium modeling, policy analysis, crop market data, and regional production systems analysis.
Across projects, I work with a combination of economic models, geospatial datasets, optimization tools, and decision-support frameworks.
I welcome inquiries related to agricultural water management, groundwater sustainability, irrigation economics, land-use transitions, and decision-support modeling.
