I study climate-resilient solutions to land use with a focus on the food-energy-water nexus and meeting sustainable development goals. My dissertation work focuses on agrivoltaic systems as mitigating and adapting solutions to climate change in dryland environments with integration of smart farming and precision irrigation to maximize the synergistic benefits these systems provide.
