Welcome to my personal website. I am a Senior Economist at the Asian Development Bank. I'm a development economist deeply motivated by a simple question: how can transformative technologies improve the lives of people who are too often left behind?
To answer this question, I study how general-purpose technologies, such as clean energy, information technology, and AI, affect low-income households. My research also explores institutional and policy designs that can maximize these technologies' benefits and reach those who need them the most.
In parallel, I develop NLP tools to analyze complex texts, opening new avenues for studying institutions and policies at scale.
My research is supported by the Singapore Ministry of Education, the National Natural Science Foundation of China, and other international funders. I hold a Ph.D. in Economics from Yale University and a B.S. in Computer Science from Washington University in St. Louis.
