My research focuses on forest economics and management, with a particular emphasis on the economic valuation of ecosystem services and sustainable natural resource management. I am interested in understanding and quantifying the economic value of ecosystem services, such as carbon sequestration and biodiversity conservation, and applying this knowledge to inform environmental policy-making and resource management decisions. My research interests extend to non-market valuation methods. I am intrigued by techniques that assess the economic worth of environmental goods and services that are not typically traded in markets. I aim to employ methods such as stated preference surveys and contingent valuation to capture the intrinsic value of environmental assets and incorporate them into decision-making processes. Finally, I have a strong interest in recreation and tourism economics. I focus on understanding visitor behavior, estimating the economic impact of tourism activities, and developing strategies for sustainable tourism management. I aim to balance the conservation of natural resources with the promotion of local economic development in the context of recreational and tourism activities. Overall, my research and academic interests demonstrate a multidisciplinary approach that combines elements of economics, environmental science, and natural resource management to address pressing sustainability challenges and contribute to the field of engineering, science, and management.
