About Me 

I'm interested in developing innovative solutions to complex social challenges through economic research, entrepreneurship, and Artificial Intelligence. 

Research  At the moment, I'm exploring the impact of AI on developing economies. Will AI be a force for convergence or divergence in global income? How can developing economies harness the productivity potential (and mitigate the risks) of AI? 

My broader research interests lie at the intersection of development economics and innovation economics. 

Current Endeavours  

I'm currently working as an Economic Affairs intern at the United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Asia-Pacific, where I am conducting research on the status of AI implementation in trade facilitation across ESCAP's member states for the UNTF survey and a report by the Asian Development Bank. 

Alongside this, I run Transcend Vintage, a vintage clothing e-commerce shop focused on reducing textile waste and promoting a circular fashion economy.

In my free time, I like to read, write, and spend time in nature.
