I typically introduce myself as a “problem-solving scholar”. My idea of successful problem-solving is a commitment to studying, understanding and teaching yet unfamiliar topics or problems through thorough research and dedicated learning. I come from a background of economic analysis, public policy, statistics and computational methods. I am currently conducting behavioural finance research at Monash University.

A stern conviction in logic, statistical reasoning and empirical problem-solving has made me proficient in real-world complex analytical environments, yet I hold an equally strong belief in the possibility of change through effective communication, story-telling and individual agency; a belief moulded by my lifelong interest in behavioural economics, political science, philosophy and world history. My life is dedicated to learn more about us, a life philosophy made possible by the countless past and present contributions of curious minds. To those thinkers and learners, I owe a great intellectual debt, but for that I am grateful.
