Biography

I am an environment and development economist. My specialised research investigates the relationship between fisheries resources and human behaviours within the framework of Coupled Human and Natural Systems (CHANS). The overarching goal of my research is to promote an environmentally sustainable and economically viable future for fisheries, thus achieving a balance between human prosperity and the preservation of our invaluable natural resources.

I am currently a postdoctoral researcher at the Leibniz Institute of Freshwater Ecology and Inland Fisheries (IGB) in Berlin, Germany.
