I am an applied economics researcher interested in understanding how unequal access to basic services shapes social and economic outcomes. My work spans areas such as sanitation infrastructure, energy poverty, and mental health, with a focus on how disparities in access influence well-being and crime. 

Methodologically, I work extensively with large-scale micro-level household datasets, combining them with administrative and aggregate data to construct policy-relevant measures. More recently, I have also developed an interest in labour market dynamics, particularly in understanding skills shortages, occupational demand, and workforce mismatches within the Australian context.

My broader goal is to generate evidence that informs more inclusive and effective public policies, particularly in developing and transitioning economies.
