Overview Research Education Projects Contact
I was trained as an environmental and water engineer. For the past 5 years, I have been working on global food and water security. I am doing research on how agricultural and other sectors consume water from production to consumption perspectives, particularly how international trade links consumers from one country to the food production and water resources in other countries (virtual water trade). I have applied various models for the global food and water security issues, including crop models, input-output analysis, hydrological modeling, optimization, and decision making under deep uncertainty.
I am currently interested in the following topics:
- Climate extremes and the adaptation limits
- International trade and its environmental impacts
- Global food security and water sustainability
