I am an Assistant Professor of Agribusiness and Experimental Economics in the Department of Agricultural Economics and Rural Sociology at Auburn University. 

In general, my research focuses on understanding the behavioral aspects of economic decision-making with biometric process-data to answer policy-centered empirical questions.
