​​I am an Associate Professor at the Crawford School of Public Policy of the Australian National University (ANU). I am interested in the empirical analysis of issues related to Labor Economics, Public Economics and Policy Evaluation. My current research focuses on the development and application of methods to study treatment response heterogeneity. Ongoing empirical work includes the application of behavioral insights to tax compliance and involves the implementation of randomized controlled field trials in Australia, Indonesia and Papua New Guinea. My work has been published in Economic Inquiry, Health Economics, Industrial and Labor Relations Review, Journal of Banking and Finance and Journal of Economic Behavior and Organization, among others. 

I have previously held academic appointments at the ANU and the University of Queensland. I have been a Visiting Fellow of the Office of Population Research at Princeton University and I am currently a Visiting Fellow of the National School of Development at Peking University.​
