Personal profile

Biography

I am a Senior Lecturer (equivalent to an Associate Professor in North America) at the Business School of the University of Western Australia. I hold a PhD in Economics from the University of Tasmania, and my academic career has included teaching positions at institutions such as the Chinese University of Hong Kong. My primary research interests lie in development economics, particularly economic growth, migration, and human capital formation in developing countries. I am especially focused on the economic dynamics within developing economies, exploring challenges such as population aging, resource misallocation, public debt, and the impacts of migration on long-term development. Currently, my ongoing research focuses on the issue of population aging in developing countries, exploring its economic implications and potential policy responses. In addition, I continue to engage in other research projects that address sustainable economic growth and the development challenges faced by emerging economies.
