I am a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the Economic and Social Research Institute (ESRI), Dublin

My research interests are development economics,  public policy, and impact evaluation.

I hold a PhD from the Faculty of Agricultural, Nutritional, and Engineering Sciences at the University of Bonn working on the roles of socioeconomic conditions, cultural practices, and the food environment on the nutrition transition in low- and middle-income countries. 

I have over 6 years of work experience in evidence-based policy research within Think Tank organizations across Southeast Asia, including The SMERU Research Institute, FHI 360, Eijkman-Oxford Clinical Research Unit, and J-PAL SEA.
