I am an LSE Fellow at the London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE). My research lies at the intersection of environmental economics, development economics, and political economy.
My research involves partnerships with governments 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, including randomized controlled trials, quasi-experimental designs, big data analytics, and machine learning.
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 am also a Research Affiliate at the International Growth Centre (IGC). Previously, I served as an Economist at the IGC and worked as a consultant for the World Bank, the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA), and the International Organization for Migration (IOM).
