I am a visiting postdoctoral fellow at the Max Planck Institute for the Study of Crime, Security and Law within the Behavioral Economics of Crime and Conflict research group. My research focuses on topics such as social norms, bayesian persuasion, antisocial behaviour, signalling, and lying aversion.
I have extensive experience both within academia and in industry.
I completed my PhD in economics at the University of Queensland, supervised by Daniel Zizzo, Carlos Oyarzun, and Alexandros Karakostas. I have also worked in several research assistant roles. Within the UQ School of Political Science, my research has addressed issues related to corporate political activism and China's growing debt issues. As a research assistant in the UQ School of Economics, I have focused on topics in experimental economics such as auction theory, virtue signalling, and credence goods markets. I have also worked as a tutor within both schools.
As a research officer with Kantar Public, I have collaborated with clients such as the Australian Department of Education, Skills and Employment and the Victorian Academy of Leadership and Excellence Evaluation. I previously interned at the Professional Research Institute for Management and Economics in Cambodia where I studied the role of informal markets and competitive currency. I further ran an education seminar at the University of Management and Economics (Kampong Cham, Cambodia) in line with my work for the Human Capital Project. At the Buckeye Institute, in Ohio, I helped develop a GE state model and a renewable portfolio standards model. At the Australian Institute for Progress I have produced reports on the Australian housing market, the corporate-wage wedge, migration, and schooling.
