I hold a Ph.D. in Public Administration. My research lies in the area of sustainable development and falls within three main categories: 1) sustainability transitions toward climate neutrality, 2) development of operations research (OR)-based frameworks for sustainability and efficiency assessment, and 3) policy implication for achieving equitable and just transitions.
