I am a behavioral economist at Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy, National University of Singapore. I received BA in Mathematics & Economics and PhD in Economics, both from Cornell University. For research, I use both econometric and experimental methods to study topics in behavioral economics, health economics, and public policy.
