Exploring different places and meeting people is a passion of mine, and it serves as a great source of inspiration for my research. Throughout the years, I have had the opportunity to work and live in both Taiwan and the U.S., and conduct field research in India, Cambodia, and Thailand. I have also traveled extensively across the globe, immersing myself in a range of environments -- from the prosperous to the impoverished, from the orderly to the chaotic, and from the peaceful to the tumultuous. Through my experiences in the field, I am able to develop a deeper understanding of economics and become a more effective researcher.
