I am a Ph.D. student in the Department of Economics at the University of California, Santa Barbara. I graduated from the National University of Singapore (NUS) with a Bachelor of Social Science degree in Economics and a certificate from the University Scholars Programme, a rigorous 4-year interdisciplinary program at NUS. My research interests include behavioral economics, experimental economics, and applied microeconomics (labor and health). Currently, I am working on a project that attempts to explain the gender wage gap using a search theoretic model.
