I am an applied microeconomist, focusing on human development, poverty, and social policy in low- and middle-income economies in Asia and the Pacific. I implement policy trials and analyses with government and non-government partners. 

I publish in high-impact economics journals, including American Economic Journal: Applied Economics and Journal of Development Economics. I have been interviewed by the Economist and Australian Financial Review. I am a co-editor of the Economics of Education Review, an associate editor of Asian Development Review, and an editorial board member of Asian-Pacific Economic Literature.

I am a senior economist at the Asian Development Bank's Economic Research and Development Impact Department. My roles include leading ADB's research program on reducing lead (Pb) poisoning, working with the Indonesian government to increase the efficiency of its national health insurance program, and coordinating the support, design, and implementation of impact evaluations of ADB's gender-transformative projects in low- and lower-middle-income economies.
