I am a senior research fellow at the Melbourne Institute: Applied Economic & Social Research at The University of Melbourne.
My research interest is driven by an overarching question "how to improve the lives of vulnerable and disadvantaged populations?". I focus on understanding human capital formation, in particular associated to health, education and employment, as well as how public policy contributes to it.
