About me

I am an environmental and energy economist with expertise in environmental valuation, energy economics, carbon emissions and pricing, and agricultural & applied economics. I earned my PhD in Agricultural Economics and Management from the College of Economics and Management at Northwest Agriculture and Forestry University, China, in 2019, where I focused on the valuation of ecosystem services using the choice experiment method. After completing my PhD, I pursued a postdoctoral fellowship at the same institution from 2019 to 2021. I then served as an Associate Professor at Xi’an International University, China, from 2021 to 2022. Currently, I am a postdoctoral researcher at the UiS School of Business and Law, University of Stavanger, Norway.
