I am a financial economist and quant researcher working at the intersection of Financial Economics, Market Design, and International Finance.
Currently, I am a Senior Associate at the Asia Pacific Exchange (APEX) in Singapore, where I focus on quantitative risk management for exchange-traded financial derivatives. I am also a Ph.D. Candidate in Economics at the University of Technology Sydney (UTS) Business School (expected graduation in H2 2026).
Prior to joining APEX, I worked as a Research Associate at the Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy, National University of Singapore (NUS) from 2017 to 2022, researching international capital flows, financial contagions, and macroprudential policies. I have also spent time as a Senior Economist at the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS).
