Welcome to my website!

I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of Real Estate and Construction at the University of Hong Kong's Faculty of Architecture.

I research topics in urban economics, real estate economics, economic geography, and environmental economics using applied microeconomic theory and econometric methods. 

My current projects explore housing regulations and supply, internal migration, structural transformation, climate change, property rights, and inequality in India. In the past, I have worked on transportation regulations, health policy, and nutrition.

I graduated with a Ph.D. in Urban Planning and Development from the University of Southern California's Sol Price School of Public Policy in Spring 2023.
