Profile

I am an Operations and Supply Chain scholar.

My research focuses on adding value to agricultural supply chains by coordinating farmers’ behavior, improving market outcomes, and enhancing policy effectiveness.

I employ analytical modeling, data analysis, and simulation to support better decision-making for policymakers and stakeholders. My research explores how agricultural cooperatives can achieve greater sustainability through contractual coordination, financial strategies, and market entry decisions, as well as how farmers collaborate to create value in the agricultural business world.

Current Projects

My current focus in on sustainable agricultural operations.

I am studying strategic entry of farmers’ cooperatives in Agricultural markets. We want to understand how farmers’ cooperatives strategically enter agricultural markets to respond to dominant companies and influence market outcomes.

I am also doing research on government policies in animal disease control, such as African swine fever, to understand how policy design can better encourage farmer compliance.
