I'm an Assistant Professor of Economics at the National University of Singapore. I received my PhD degree in Economics from the University of Wisconsin-Madison in 2020.
My research interest broadly focuses on macro, monetary and macro-finance. I'm currently working on: (i) inflation, and (ii) macroeconomics with heterogeneous regions. See my CV for more.
