I am a Postdoctoral Research Fellow in Quantitative Political Science. My research focuses on education politics and policy, as well as the drivers of intergroup discrimination based on ethnicity, gender, and immigrant status. Methodologically, I utilise a range of causal inference techniques to evaluate how major policy reforms influence various individual-level political outcomes, including political participation and democratic attitudes. A majority of my empirical work centres on Malaysia and Singapore.

Research

I specialise in computational methods in social science with a particular interest in modelling complex social systems through the lens of political violence and opinion dynamics. Some of my research topics include:

• Replication of social experiments with synthetic data from LLMs
• Organisational structure and group decision making in insurgency

• Complex systems and modelling collective behaviour
