I am a behavioral economist at the Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy, National University of Singapore. I received my BA in Mathematics & Economics and PhD in Economics, both from Cornell University.
My research uses econometric and experimental methods to study how information, incentives, and behavioral biases shape individual decision-making, and when policy interventions succeed or fail in changing behavior. My work spans applications in health, education, and other areas of public policy, and has been published in journals including Review of Economic Studies and Nature Human Behaviour.
