I am a PhD fellow at the Department of Food and Resource Economics, University of Copenhagen. I am involved in the research project Rural Households, Agriculture, and Climate Change—Why and How Farmers (Do Not) Adapt in Ethiopia (RACE), which aims to enhance smallholder farmers' adaptive capacity to climate change through integrated watershed management.

My PhD project, as part of the RACE project, focuses on institutional intervention, collective action, and climate change adaptation practices. My research involves data collection and analysis using several methods, including surveys, meta-analysis, and lab-in-the-field experiments.

Drawing on topics from Behavioral and Experimental Economics, Economics of Climate Change, Institutional and Cultural economics, and Resource and Environmental Economics, I explore how rural communities can collectively adapt to climate change.

I am supervised by Carsten Smith-Hall (Professor) and Goytom Abraha Kahsay (Associate Professor), both from the Department of Food and Resource Economics, University of Copenhagen.
