Good day!
I am an Associate Professor of Economics at the Melbourne Institute, University of Melbourne. I also lead CALIBER, a research lab focused on applications of Artificial Intelligence in business & economics research.
I work on the topics of labor, family, gender and ageing, and most of the time I do empirical research leveraging big administrative datasets.
Occasionally, I post tips and tricks for researchers using Stata, and write for the Conversation.
