Research Focus

My work bridges theory and practice in environmental governance through three key areas:

Examining how partnerships across watershed boundaries address water quality challenges and identifying key success factors.

Energy Policy & Justice

Studying regulatory enforcement patterns in energy extraction and analyzing community impacts—especially in vulnerable populations.

Technology in Governance

Exploring Real-Time Crime Centers, blockchain applications for transparency, and how technology transforms public administration.
