I am an applied microeconomist and my research interests lie in the fields of labor and education economics. I am deeply interested in studying the factors and policies that impact how people make education and labor supply decisions.
I earned my PhD in Economics at the University of Lausanne in 2023. Prior to starting my PhD, I worked for the International Labour Organisation (ILO) in Geneva, and for various other private, academic and international organizations. I have a Master’s in International Economics from The Geneva Graduate Institute and a Bachelor of Science in Applied Mathematics from the National University of Singapore.
