About

Welcome to my academic website!

I am an Assistant Professor in the Saw Swee Hock School of Public Health, National University of Singapore. My research focuses on enhancing the welfare of communities, including marginalized groups, lying in behavioral & experimental economics as well as health economics. Many of my studies aim to better understand the multifaceted individual and environmental mechanisms underlying individual health-related behavior, particularly dietary choices, and develop cost-effective interventions aimed at preventing chronic diseases through randomized trials and applications of econometrics techniques to large-scale secondary data. 

I received my PhD in Agricultural and Applied Economics from the University of Georgia in 2019. Prior to enrolling in the PhD program, I worked as a researcher at the Korea Small Business Institute, mostly focusing on agricultural cooperative policies for rural development in Honduras in a joint development effort between South Korea and Honduras. I also worked as a program coordinator in the Colombia oversea office at the Korea International Cooperation Agency.
