Selamat Datang!

Welcome

I am a postdoctoral researcher at the Department of Economics and Management at Università Degli Studi di Padova.

I obtained a Doctoral degree in Economics at the Consortium of Tuscan Universities (Università degli Studi di Siena, Università degli Studi di Firenze, Università di Pisa). My dissertation explores the connection between deprivations and well-being, and was defended on November 15th 2023.  

Prior to the doctoral degree, I completed a Laurea Magistrale degree (equivalent to an MSc) at the Università Politecnica delle Marche in International Economics and Commerce during which I undertook a semester exchange at the Julius-Maximillian-Universität Würzburg. I obtained a Sarjana Ekonomi degree (equivalent to a BA) in Economic Management at the Universitas Katholik Indonesia Atma Jaya. My research formation was further complemented by research training with CEFER at the Bank of Lithuania, CHAIN at the NTNU, and ERCD at the Asian Development Bank. I have completed visiting PhD researcher periods with the Levy Economics Insitute of Bard College, ISER at the University of Essex, and the monetary policy department at the Bank of Latvia. 

In addition to my academic formation, I have previously undertaken business development and consultancy roles in the private and public sectors in Indonesia, Malaysia, India, and Italy. I have provided consultancy services in the field of Learning and Development, specifically within the Adult Learning and Executive Education space since 2020.
