Research Scholar in Data Science, Economics, and Public Policy

Intellectual Journey

As a research scholar in Data Science, Economics, and Public Policy, my intellectual journey is driven by a passion to discover how these disciplines coalesce to illuminate real-world problems. I investigate how methodological rigor can be connected with practical relevance, drawing on econometrics, management analytics, and machine learning to unpack the complexities of administration and policy design.

Scholarly Focus

My scholarly focus spans central banking, financial regulation, investments and wealth, taxation and public finance, labour and industry, competition law, climate and development, international business and finance, and defense and peace. Together, these fields reflect a shared commitment that deepens my engagement with the philosophy of economics and its enduring questions of value, rationality, and justice. What anchors my immersion in this dynamic current of learning is the belief that knowledge is not merely an instrument of advantage, but a responsibility—to translate challenges into wisdom and to dutifully live it out in public life.

Research Interests

A continuous exploration of global news, working papers, and nonfiction literature shapes my research interests. I follow developments in fiscal policy, financial regulation and macroeconomics—seeking both empirical nuance and theoretical depth. Whether through journal alerts or curated reading lists, I treat research as a living dialogue with the world—one that evolves through reflection, perception, and epistemic curiosity.
