Postgraduate supervision
I welcome research students interested in Applied Microeconomics and/or Microeconometrics, particularly in areas aligned with my research interests. While I am open to any projects closely related to my research areas, I am especially interested in supervising projects that formulate and empirically test new hypotheses in the spirit of Neoclassical Microeconomics.
Background
I am a Lecturer (Assistant Professor) at the University of Reading and a Fellow of the Global Labor Organization. My path to becoming an economist has been somewhat unconventional. I began formally studying economics only after entering the workforce, having completed my full-time education in a different field. While working full-time, I pursued an undergraduate degree in Economics through distance learning with the London School of Economics and the University of London. I later completed a master’s degree in Economics part-time at the University of Hong Kong, followed by a PhD in Economics, also undertaken part-time, at the Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK). After completing my PhD, I remained in industry for another three years before transitioning to academia. I began my academic career as a lecturer at my alma mater, CUHK, before joining the University of Reading in 2021.
