Incoming Predoctoral Research Fellow, MIT FutureTech, Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

President, Graduate Economics Association, Boston University.

I am motivated by a central question: how can countries best encourage innovation and sustain long-run economic growth? My work sits at the intersection of innovation policy, applied econometrics, and macroeconomics, with a focus on how emerging technologies diffuse through firms and markets and what that implies for productivity, investment, and aggregate growth.

My research spans two complementary strands: (1) technology, productivity, and innovation: how firms adopt new technologies, how these shifts appear in measured outcomes, and which frictions slow diffusion; and (2) macroeconomics and political economy: how institutions and policy shape investment, resilience, and long-run growth, especially in emerging markets. Methodologically, I rely heavily on econometric analysis and data engineering, often working with large datasets and text-based sources when useful.

I am completing a B.A. in Economics & Mathematics and an M.S. in Quantitative Economics at Boston University in May 2026, and I plan to pursue a PhD in Economics.

I am from Jakarta, Indonesia, a rapidly evolving megacity where “five minutes away” is more of a philosophy than a travel time.
