WELCOME

I am a third-year Economics PhD candidate at Monash University Australia and SoDa Labs. Prior to my PhD study, I completed my pre-doctoral program — Master of Economics (Research Option) at Monash University Australia, and accomplished Honours degree (specialised in Economics) and Bachelor degree at Monash University Malaysia.

Research Areas: political economy, environmental economics and applied microeconomics

I enjoy exploring different types of alternative data and using them in my research to answer social science questions.

I am currently the co-organizer of the Applied Young Economists Webinar (AYEW).
