I am a Visiting Fellow at the School of Economics, UNSW Business School, University of New South Wales (UNSW), currently based in Australia. Prior to this, I was a BK21 Postdoctoral Research Fellow in the Department of Economics at Seoul National University.
I hold a PhD in Economics from the University of New South Wales (UNSW), Sydney. My research focuses on Health and Labor Economics as well as Applied Econometrics, with a particular interest in evaluating the welfare effects of health policies and tax-and-transfer programs. I am especially interested in issues affecting underserved populations, including people with disabilities. I have experience working with large administrative datasets as well as detailed survey data.
