Research

A major focus and passion of mine has been learning about farming practices of Laotians in the Central Valley, their homeland, and abroad. Currently, I am working on understanding weed management strategies of winegrape growers in San Joaquin County. In both cases, I use pesticide use records, economic, efficacy, pest pressure, and environmental data to gain insight on management decisions.
