I am a Lecturer at the Institute for Population and Social Research, Mahidol University, Thailand, with a PhD in Economics. My research examines how social institutions, discrimination, and structural inequalities shape population health, economic opportunities, and individual well-being.

My work brings together economics, demography, gender and sexuality studies, and population health. I am particularly interested in understanding the social and economic consequences of gender and sexual orientation inequalities, with a focus on LGBTQ+ experiences in Thailand and the wider Asia-Pacific region. I also investigate broader questions concerning urbanisation, child health, and the relationship between social environments and population outcomes.

Methodologically, I draw on quantitative research and experimental approaches to investigate social inequalities and evaluate how institutions and policies shape individual outcomes. I am also developing interdisciplinary research that engages with qualitative perspectives and emerging questions concerning gender, masculinities, and digital cultures.

Beyond research, I am committed to teaching, academic collaboration, and building inclusive research communities. I am a co-founder of LGBTQ+ Economists and Allies in Asia-Pacific (LEAP), a network that brings together researchers and allies interested in advancing scholarship on LGBTQ+ issues in economics and related disciplines.

Through my research, teaching, and collaborative activities, I aim to contribute to a deeper understanding of social inequalities and to evidence-informed approaches towards more inclusive societies.
