My primary research focuses on nonmarket valuation of water access in developing economies. In my dissertation, I study how different kinds of water access affect household location choices, using household level data from Sri Lanka. I plan to develop three papers for publications from this research. My other research interests lie in applied microeconomics and economic education. Currently, I'm working on several other research projects involving pedagogical techniques to encourage class participation and tennis economics. Abstracts can be downloaded from Social Science Research Network (ssrn.com).
Outside of classroom, I'd like to be actively involved within the campus community. I currently serve as a member of the Student Life and Athletic Council and chair of Student Publication Board. I am the faculty advisor of the Economics Club, a student organization whose mission is to promote economics and educate the student population on current economic issues, since spring 2012.
