I am a research-focused academic at CQUniversity Australia. My current research is focused on rural and regional economics, value chain analysis and regional development. In past, I have engaged in various research projects including optimization, forecasting, cost estimation and sustainable energy. Currently, I am working on economic models for agriculture supply chain with a focus on developing and testing collaborative business models for the horticulture industry in regional Australia. Over my academic career, I have published over 25 refereed papers and project reports. I have demonstrated my social engagement and leadership capability during my academic career by engaging industry partner in the research projects and by linking local, state and federal governments and relevant stakeholders through focus group workshop and panel discussion.
