The underlying theme throughout all of my work is to make progress towards more sustainable forms of development. I have over two decades of academic and professional experience in applying the concept of sustainable development to socio-technical systems with a specific emphasis on transportation systems in developed regions, and rural water supply and sanitation systems in developing regions. I have co-led three significant research projects that studied the emerging concept of multiple-use water services (MUS) in Colombia, Senegal, and Kenya for the World Bank’s Water and Sanitation Program (WSP), evaluated a rural water program in Nampula, Mozambique, for the U.S. Millennium Challenge Corporation (MCC), and explored the impacts of blockchain technology on improving food security through African Indigenous Vegetables in Western Kenya for USAID LASER PULSE. I have published two co-authored works on “Sustainable Transportation: Indicators, Frameworks, and Performance Management” (2015) and “Technology, Globalization, and Sustainable Development: Transforming the Industrial State” (2018). I'm currently developing research agendas around new economics (with a focus on binary economics and community wealth building), food access and security at institutions of higher education, agrivoltaics (APV) in Virginia, and the use of blockchain technology to improve food security in last-mile agricultural communities.
