I specialize in health economics, development economics, and applied econometrics. With over a decade of academic experience, I have contributed extensively to understanding intergenerational health mobility, socioeconomic health disparities, and how behavioural norms intersect with economic well-being. I have led numerous interdisciplinary research projects, securing over AUD 3.6 million in funding and collaborating with institutions such as the Australian Research Council and EuroQol Group.  I am a founding member of the Australian Development Economics Association, Sydney Development Economics Group and member of the Global Labor Organization (GLO) where I lead a research cluster on Development, Health, Inequality and Behavior. 

I strive to advance health equity through data-driven research. My work combines rigorous econometric techniques with actionable policy insights, and I am passionate about shaping global health policy. Additionally, I find fulfillment in mentoring, having successfully supervised multiple PhD and Master’s students, and actively promoting equity and diversity in public health and economics through my roles in international organizations.

I obtained my PhD in Economics from the Australian National University, Canberra. Previously, I have worked at the Center for Health Economics, Department of Econometrics and Business Statistics and Department of Economics at Monash University, Melbourne.

I am affiliated with the Centre of Development Economics and Sustainability at Monash University and the Global Labor Organization (GLO) where I lead a research cluster Development, Health, Inequality and Behavior.
