I'm interested in using complex systems modeling to examine sustainability transitions in agricultural systems.

In my PhD research, I used agent-based modeling to examine climate resilience in smallholder agricultural systems.

In my postdoctoral research, I am planning to model transformation in European agri-food systems.
