I am a PhD candidate at the Department of Economics, 
Padjadjaran University, Indonesia, and a researcher at the SDGs Center, Padjadjaran University. As a researcher, I have collaborated with various stakeholders on topics related to the SDG agenda, most recently with UN ESCAP on the Leaving No One Behind analysis. In Spring 2023, I was a visiting postgraduate researcher at King's College London, United Kingdom.
My research interests include development economics and labor economics. My PhD dissertation focuses on job polarization, structural transformation, and spatial inequality in Indonesia. As a PhD fellow at UNU-WIDER, my research examines the impact of exogenous shocks on the job ladder within Indonesia's spatial context.
I am a PhD student in Applied Economics at the 
University of Antwerp, Belgium. My research interests lie in Development Economics and include topics related to energy, natural disasters, natural resources, conflicts, and conservation. My PhD thesis focuses on the multidimensional impact of access to electricity. As a Visiting PhD Fellow at UNU-WIDER, I am working on the impact of electricity on economic development, security, and conservation. I leverage the electrification project roll out by Virunga Energies in the Eastern DR Congo and focus on rural and urban communities around the Virunga National Park.
I am currently a PhD Fellow at the 
United Nations University MERIT and Maastricht University in Maastricht, Netherlands. My research focuses on how climate change can worsen economic inequalities in developing countries. Specifically, my dissertation analyzes the linkages between climate change, female migration, and gender inequality in India. At UNU-WIDER, I am involved in two projects. One project investigates the gendered impacts of climate change on labor market reallocation and its effects on gender inequality in India. The other project focuses on climate shocks and intra-household time allocation in India.
I am a PhD candidate in Economics at the University of Rwanda
, specializing in development economics with a particular focus on labor economics. My current research project focuses on the transformative impact of digitalization on public service delivery in Rwanda. Specifically, I am investigating how the adoption of digital technologies has influenced public servants' hiring outcomes, productivity levels, turnover rates, and wage differentials. As part of my PhD Fellowship program of the UNU-WIDER, I am also working on a research project that examines the economic development effects of road infrastructure improvements in developing regions.
I am a PhD student at the 
University of Sussex (UK) and a researcher with the International Centre for Tax and Development. My research interests lie at the intersection of public finance and development in low-income countries, with a focus on tax administration and policy. Prior to starting my PhD, I worked at the Ministry of Finance in Uganda as an ODI fellow, and engaging with policymakers remains central to my work. While at WIDER, I will be working on a project examining the impact of the introduction of electronic invoicing on firms' tax compliance behaviour in Uganda, in collaboration with staff from the Uganda Revenue Authority.
I am a PhD candidate in Economics
at the Laboratoire d'Economie d'Orleans (University of Orléans) with a research focus on development economics, natural resource management, and the global energy transition. My work aims to explore how economic policies can drive sustainable development in resource-rich regions, particularly as the world shifts toward low-carbon economies. Currently, I am analyzing as part of my visiting at UNU-WIDER , conflict dynamics related to cobalt production in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), a critical area of research given the rising demand for minerals vital to clean energy technologies. With experience as a climate change data analyst for the UNDP, I bring a multidisciplinary perspective to international development, resource economics, and the geopolitics of natural resource management. My goal is to deliver actionable insights that promote inclusive and sustainable growth, especially in African economies facing the challenges and opportunities of natural resource extraction.
I am a PhD candidate in Agricultural Economics at the University of Goettingen, Germany. I conduct research at the intersection of agricultural and development economics, nutrition and political economy. My thesis explores impacts of droughts, social safety nets and investments on community-level irrigation schemes on nutrition in Malawi. During my visit at UNU-WIDER, I will assess the short and long term effects of Malawi’s 2015/16 drought on child malnutrition.
