I am an Associate Professor of Economics with a deep passion for applying advanced mathematical techniques to better understand how economies function, who they serve, and how they evolve in response to policy changes. With an academic background that includes a PhD in Applied Mathematics and a Commerce degree with majors in Economics and Finance, my work sits at the intersection of rigorous quantitative analysis and real-world economic challenges, helping to uncover insights that drive smarter decision-making.

Specializing in economic modelling, I explore how policies shape economic outcomes—who benefits, who is left behind, and what adjustments are needed to create more equitable and efficient systems. Through my research, I aim to bridge the gap between complex mathematical frameworks and practical applications, ensuring that economic insights are both theoretically sound and policy-relevant.

I am always eager to collaborate with researchers, policymakers, and industry professionals who share an interest in economic analysis.
