I am a Lecturer (Assistant Professor equivalent) in the Department of Agricultural and Resource Economics at the University of Sydney. I personally maintain this website and currently use it for educational and research purposes.
Back when I was a graduate student at Purdue University, I was introduced to nonlinear time series modelling techniques, which I applied to climate and price data. The outcome was convincing enough to fulfill my doctoral degree requirements, and interesting enough to motivate the current path of my research agenda. My research interests are in nonlinear time series modelling and forecasting, with an emphasis on exploring asymmetries in climate anomalies and commodity prices. I am particularly curious of a climate phenomenon - El Niño Southern Oscillation, and its causal inferences on primary commodity production and prices.
More information about my research is available in the Research section of this website. I am particularly welcome any questions regarding the information provided on this website, and look forward to research collaboration opportunities involving the topics of my expertise.
