Zhan Wang serves as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Food and Resource Economics at the University of Copenhagen's Faculty of Science, where his research examines the intricate relationships between land use, agricultural production systems, and environmental sustainability through advanced computational modeling techniques including general/partial equilibrium frameworks and geospatial data analysis. His work specifically investigates global, national, and gridded-scale impacts of international trade dynamics, climate change scenarios, and transportation infrastructure development on agricultural ecosystems.
His academic background includes:
- PhD in Agricultural Economics from Purdue University (2018-2023)
Dr. Wang's research expertise spans agricultural economics, land use change modeling, environmental impact assessment, and innovative economic education methodologies. He employs multi-scale analytical approaches to study sustainability challenges in food, land, and water systems, with particular emphasis on Brazil's agricultural infrastructure and China's ecological programs. His work bridges economic theory with environmental science to inform policy decisions regarding resource allocation and sustainable development.
Analysis of his recent publications reveals a strong thematic focus on transportation infrastructure expansion and climate change impacts on agricultural systems, particularly in Brazil and China. His modeling frameworks like GTAP-SIMPLE-G integrate economic and geospatial data to evaluate policy interventions, while his educational tools demonstrate commitment to advancing applied economics pedagogy. The publications consistently employ multi-scale analysis techniques to address complex sustainability challenges.
