I am a Postgraduate Researcher at the School of Global Development, University of East Anglia, under the supervision of Professor Bereket Kebede and Professor Pieter Serneels. My research centres on the economics of adaptation to climate change and natural disasters in Indonesia, Thailand, and Vietnam, with a particular emphasis on identifying adaptation strategies and evaluating their effectiveness. Employing large-scale, multi-level survey data and advanced causal inference techniques, my work aims to generate robust empirical insights to inform climate adaptation policies. I have also been an Associate Fellow of the Higher Education Academy (AFHEA) since 2024.

Beyond academia, I have extensive experience in economic policy research. Since 2014, I have been affiliated with INDEF, a leading economic think tank in Indonesia, where I have worked on a diverse range of policy-oriented research projects across Indonesia and the ASEAN region. In this role, I have collaborated with government agencies, central banks, private sector organisations, and business associations. My insights on contemporary economic issues have been featured in opinion columns, television interviews, and invited talks at international policy forums, including APEC and UNESCAP.

I hold a BSc in Development Economics from Universitas Sebelas Maret, Indonesia, and an MSc in Development Economics from the University of Birmingham, UK.

My main research is in applied economics with a focus on climate change, agriculture, and energy.

A second area of my research concentrates on FDI, trade, and GVC. 

In general, my research interests include economic development, applied microeconomics and international business, with a regional focus on Southeast Asia. I welcome opportunities for research collaboration in these areas.
