I am a Post-doctoral Research Assistant at the University of Reading and a versatile economist with extensive experience in higher education, research, and data-driven analysis. My expertise spans economics, applied econometrics, and advanced data processing, with a strong track record in both teaching and conducting large-scale, interdisciplinary research.

My academic distinctions include the Best Dissertation Award for my MSc research, a Cum Laude honours, a Gold Medal for academic excellence in BSc (Honors) in Economics.

Beyond economics, my research extends across sociology, psychology, and behavioural economics, enabling me to provide holistic insights into human behaviour, policy-making, and socioeconomic trends. With a proven ability to lead and execute widespan research projects, I am a one-stop resource for rigorous academic inquiry, bridging multiple disciplines to inform both scholarly debates and real-world applications.
