About me
I am Giang Tran, a researcher in applied microeconomics with a focus on development, health, and education. Currently, I am a second-year PhD student in the Department of Economics at Monash University. My research focuses on evaluating the short, medium, and long-term impacts of policies and interventions aimed at improving equitable access to education and essential services in developing countries, with a particular emphasis on Vietnam.
Before starting my PhD, I gained over five years of experience in monitoring and evaluation, impact assessment, and development research. I have a strong track record in writing research proposals and designing both quantitative and qualitative tools for projects funded by international organizations, including the UN, IFC, ADB, DFAT, and Oxfam.
