Summary

If not anything, I would describe myself as a curious person - loving to ask questions and to learn new things. Having wanted to pursue economics since the beginning of high school, I have always enjoyed research and practical applications of economics in real life. As of now, I am a passionate learner of mathematics and economics, wishing to pursue a career in consulting and investment banking.

Member of the Rotary Interact club which gave me the following opportunity:

Research Analyst

Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy, National Institute of Singapore (NUS)
05.2024 - 07.2024
  • I had the chance to shadow Dr. Sasidharan at the National University of Singapore where I helped collect data on FDI in the ASEAN region. Under his mentorship, I collected and analyzed extensive data, particularly focusing on the volatility of FDI during periods of crisis such as the global financial crisis or COVID-19. My analysis involved using simple and multiple regression models alongside other standard econometric tools. Particularly, I discovered the policy environment in each country and its correlation with different measures of FDI (Greenfield, Brownfield, M&A). I evaluated the stability of foreign investments during the crisis periods, growth of individual countries and recovery during times of economic turbulence. This opportunity deepened my understanding about global financial systems and led me to analyze more economic policies through quantitative analysis.
