About
I joined the University of Alberta and the Bank of Canada as a Mitacs Postdoctoral Researcher in September 2022. Previously, I was a Postdoctoral Researcher at the Chair of Economic Policy at the University of Potsdam from May 2021 to August 2022 and a Postdoctoral Researcher at the Department of Economics at the University of Hamburg and the Hamburg Center for Health Economics (HCHE) from August 2020 to April 2021.
From October 2019 to July 2020, I visited the "Labour Markets and Human Resources" Department at the ZEW – Leibniz Centre for European Economic Research (ZEW, Mannheim) as a DAAD (German Academic Exchange Service) research fellow.
Being an applied microeconometrician by training, my research interests lie in gender issues, underrepresented peoples and visible minorities studies. Strands of my research include exploring the long term effects of a war on intimate partner violence and quantifying the impact of pollution on the costs of public healthcare in Leicester. In addition, I am currently studying the effects of a temporary income shock on the credit behaviour of older adults in Canada.
