Hi, and thanks for visiting my website! I am the Deputy Director of the Development Policy Centre and part of the economics faculty of the Crawford School of Public Policy at the Australian National University. My research lies at the intersection of development economics, labour economics, international trade, and the environment.

I am currently a Research Lead (Migration and Integration) and Organisational Lead (Devpol, Crawford) of the Pacific Research Program, and also associated with the Poverty Action Lab, Innovations for Poverty Action, and the ANU Indonesia Project, the Migration Hub, and the Arndt-Corden Department of Economics, where I convene the two key graduate research courses, supervise masters and PhD students, and co-convene the ACDE Seminars. I’m also an associate editor of Asia and the Pacific Policy Studies and Asia-Pacific Economic Literature, the editor of the Development Policy Centre Discussion Papers, and a co-convenor of the biennial Pacific Update.

I returned to the ANU in 2019 from academic appointments in the Department of Economics at Dartmouth College, where I taught development economics and statistics, and in the Department of Earth System Science, Centre for Food Security and the Environment, and Freeman Spogli Institute at Stanford University, where I managed a large research program around palm oil, poverty, and sustainability. Before and during my PhD, I worked in the Australian Government—mostly on budgets, school funding, and impact evaluation policy in the Department of the Prime Minister and Cabinet—development, finance, and various other odd jobs.
