Nawon's research lies at the intersection of water economics, agricultural development, and environmental economics, with particular interests in water resources, drought, climate change, and agricultural resilience. 

Her recent work examines how water infrastructure and institutions shape agricultural outcomes, resilience to extreme weather, and public health. We are excited to welcome Dr. Kang to our department and look forward to the valuable contributions she will bring to our students, faculty, and academic community.

We are delighted to have her in our department! Go Beach!
