Biography/ Background

I have recently submitted my thesis for the degree of PhD in Economics. As of 1 January 2010, I take up a position as a postdoctoral research fellow conducting research on food policy in Indonesia at this school.

In Semester 2 2009, I taught East Asian Economies II offered to both postgraduate and undergraduate students. The course will be next offered in Semester 2 2010.

Qualifications

Master of Economics (University of Adelaide)-2005

Bachelor of Science in Statistics (Bogor Agricultural University)-2004

Teaching Interests

I have been a teaching assistant for various subjects in the last three years including Business Data Analysis I; International Finance III; East Asian Economies II; International Trade and Investment Policy II; and Money, Banking and Financial Market III.

Research Interests

My primary area of research is development economics. My works also cover areas of education economics, Islamic economics, East Asian Economies, and applied econometrics.

During my PhD, I focused my research on the economics of religious schools covering various aspects such as inequality of income and education, earnings, demand for religious education, the role of religious leaders, impacts of government policy, etc.

Given my new role, I am now looking at the link between economic growth and trade barriers especially in the agricultural sector using data from Indonesia.
