About
I am interested in applying experimental methods to study various topics in microeconomics. My current papers focus on how the design of contests and auctions affects individual decisions.
As a passionate researcher dedicated to making a real-world impact, I have worked in both academic and industry landscapes. Previous experience as a data specialist enabled me to leverage behavioural economics, experimental and statistical modelling, and AI to gain insights into human behaviour and drive positive change. I am committed to using my skills to contribute to meaningful projects that enhance the world around us.
