I am a Postdoctoral Researcher at the Stone Center on Socio-Economic Inequality, CUNY Graduate Center. My research primarily focuses on political economics, economic history, and development economics, with a particular interest in income inequality and redistribution in East Asia and Africa.

I earned my Ph.D. in Economics from the Paris School of Economics in 2024, after completing my B.A. in Economics at the National University of Singapore and Sciences Po Paris. My work employs quantitative methods, survey experiments, and historical data analysis to investigate long-term patterns of inequality and wealth distribution.

I am currently seeking opportunities to further develop my research and teaching in economics, particularly in areas that combine empirical analysis with policy-relevant insights. I am keen to contribute to academic projects that explore the dynamics of socio-economic inequality and support evidence-based policymaking.
