I am a Postdoctoral Research Fellow in Economics at the University of Exeter Business School. My research lies at the intersection of environmental and development economics and political economy.
My research involves partnerships with government and industry to study how market mechanisms and policies shape environmental and economic outcomes. My goal is to better understand how economic development can be sustainable for both the environment and societies in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). I use a range of methods in my research, including randomized controlled trials, quasi-experimental designs, big data analytics, and machine learning techniques.
I hold a PhD from the University of Oxford, a master’s degree from Duke University, and a bachelor’s degree from the Hong Kong Polytechnic University. I have also served as an economist for the International Growth Centre (IGC) at the London School of Economics (LSE) and as a consultant for the World Bank, United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA), and International Organisation for Migration (IOM).
