A Journey to the Doctorate: Completing a Ph.D. is a journey filled with curiosity, challenges, and perseverance. One of the most defining moments in this journey is the viva voce—the final defense of years of research and dedication.
On March 2, 2023, I successfully defended my Ph.D. dissertation: "Essays in the Economics of Courtship, Marriage, and Divorce".
This page captures some moments from that day — a day that marked the culmination of countless hours of research and the beginning of new academic pursuits.
