About Me

I am a PhD Candidate in Economics at University College Dublin funded by the UCD School of Economics. My general research area is Behavioral and Experimental Economics, with a foundation in Game Theory.


In my work, I design and implement theoretical models and online experiments to study motivation, algorithmic discrimination, and strategic behavior in both labor and dating markets.


Prior to my PhD, I worked in marketing and consulting across East Asia, experiences that continue to shape my interest in applied, policy-relevant research.


I hold an MSc in Applied Economics from UCD and a BBA in International Business from National Chengchi University, with exchanges to Purdue University and Western Washington University.


Research Interests: Behavioral Economics, Experimental Economics, Game Theory, Media Economics, Algorithmic Fairness
