Welcome to my website!
I am an applied microeconomist with research interests in labor and development. I received my Ph.D. in applied economics from the Charles H. Dyson School of Applied Economics and Management at Cornell University in 2022 and was a postdoctoral research fellow at the University of Sydney School of Economics and the ARC Life Course Centre from 2022 to 2024. I am currently a postdoctoral fellow at Fulbright University Vietnam.
My research combines large-scale administrative and survey data with causal inference methods to study immigration, household decision-making, childcare, and development finance. Ongoing projects examine how childcare accessibility and quality regulation shape families’ childcare choices and maternal labor supply in Australia, and the short- and long-run effects of gender-targeted blended finance on women-owned enterprises in developing countries.
I am also the translator behind the Vietnamese editions of Alvin E. Roth's Who Gets What and Why (Tri Thuc Publishing House, 2017) and David S. Evans and Richard L. Schmalensee's Matchmakers: The New Economics of Multisided Platforms (joint with Chi Tran; The Gioi Publishers, 2019), and the editor of the Vietnamese translation of Richard Thaler's The Winner's Curse.
