Brian is a fourth-year student in the Science, Technology, and Environmental Policy (STEP) Ph.D. program at Princeton. Growing up in the Bay Area, he refused to leave California and majored in economics at the University of California, Davis. As an undergraduate, he worked with Dr. Katherine Eriksson on research related to economic history. After, he moved to Taipei, Taiwan, where he earned his master’s degree in agricultural economics at National Taiwan University with the support of the Fulbright Program. During this time, he worked with Dr. Hung-Hao Chang on research related to agricultural policy and farm household economics in Taiwan. He is interested in inter-disciplinary research at the nexus of agricultural economics, environmental policy, and conservation science. In his free time, he enjoys any and all racket sports such as badminton and tennis, although he should probably focus on mastering one.
