Natural resources and ecosystems form the natural capital of a society. Ecosystem dynamics, economic markets and institutions play a key role in management of these vital resources. The interaction between human and natural systems is often a complex process that includes biophysical, ecological, economic and cultural dimensions. To develop an appropriate approach, it is essential to understand the system in a four-dimensional, space-time continuum. Natural resources change in quality and quantity over geographic space and temporal space and depend on the feedback from economic and ecological processes. The use of mathematical models that involve calculus of variation and optimum control theory can improve modeling of these processes. Another important dimension is group decision-making involving multiobjective optimization and simulation. Advancements in social choice theory and institutional mechanisms design, ecosystem theories, general equilibrium theory, mechanism design of market and non-market instruments, and spatial and temporal control theory can be used to address such complex problems. For example, the spatial dynamic optimization (Ph.D. work) framework is an integrated approach to address problems that are related water quality, production, resource management, forest and wildlife management, location of firms, and ecosystem management. Quantitative techniques that involve a combinatorial use of mathematical programming, process simulation, Geographic Information Systems (GIS), and econometrics are also critical elements of successful research. Teaching philosophy: "Enrich students with skills and knowledge to achieve excellence through pluralistic pedagogy." Teaching methods need to aim at enhancing creative and comprehensive learning. A community service learning approach (students involving in community problems) is a key to teaching success. Given the heterogeneity of a student body with respect to knowledge, learning abilities, personalities, and skills, teaching should aim at improving individual skills, while increasing the knowledge level of the entire group. This can be accomplished by using a careful mix of individual training, feedback mechanism, and interactive group discussions. Creative experiments in economic, social, and ecological systems, debates, role-playing, case studies and in-class projects are some examples of effective teaching methods. Multimedia tools, the Internet, topic research, reading assignments, discussion open houses, group projects, and critique of research and policies are other effective tools to train students in decision-making. Such teaching methods will also enable students to understand the underlying theory and principles, while developing practical skills in problem solving. Instead of traditional unidirectional flow of knowledge, it is essential to follow a pluralistic pedagogy (bi-directional teaching and learning) that includes learning about students’ educational requirements. Service Philosophy: "Service through innovative technologies and participatory training" Final end point of research and teaching efforts is to benefit the society. Working with grass-root level decision-makers is critical to respond to the needs of the public. There exists excellent scope in the use of virtual (Internet and computer based) and direct means (field contacts) to gather information and to disseminate improved approaches to problem solving at local, national, and international levels. A demand-driven, individual-based, and incentive-driven approach is essential to transfer knowledge and technology to address problems facing the public and communities. My philosophy is to involve public or clients of research earlier in the process, in problem definition, modeling, and analysis, rather than involving at the final stage of a program. Professional enhancement through national and international interaction is also important. While research (R), teaching (T), and service (S) are usually compartmentalized as individual tasks, an effective approach is to integrate these three areas through student research (R↔T), community service learning (T↔S), and community-participated research (R↔S). An application of this integrated strategy can complement each other toward a win-win outcome in all the three areas. My academic objective is to achieve professional excellence through superior research, excellence in teaching, and outstanding public service.
