I am a Professor of Economics at Macquarie University, Sydney, Australia. I specialize in health economics, development economics, and applied econometrics. With over a decade of experience in academia, I have contributed extensively to understanding intergenerational health mobility, socioeconomic health disparities, and how behavioural norms intersect with economic well-being. I have led numerous interdisciplinary research projects, securing over AUD 3.6 million in funding and collaborating with institutions such as the Australian Research Council and EuroQol Group. I serve as the Editor of the Journal of Population Economics (Springer), and am a founding member of the Australian Development Economics Association and member of the Global Labor Organization (GLO) where I lead a research cluster Development, Health, Inequality and Behavior.
I strive to advance health equity through data-driven research. My work combines rigorous econometric techniques with actionable policy insights, and I am passionate about shaping global health policy. Additionally, I find fulfillment in mentoring, having successfully supervised multiple PhD and Master’s students, and actively promoting equity and diversity in public health and economics through my roles in international organizations.
