Hi. I'm a development economist in the Department of Agricultural and Applied Economics, University of Wisconsin-Madison. My research focuses on problems of globalization, growth, and development in East and Southeast Asia. At UW I am a faculty affiliate of the Center for Demography and Ecology, Institute for Research on Poverty, Center for Southeast Asian Studies, Nelson Institute for Environmental Studies, La Follette School of Public Affairs, and Development Studies Ph.D. Program. 

In 2017-18 I was on sabbatical leave at Hitotsubashi University Institute for Economic Research, Kobe University Graduate School of International Cooperation Studies, and Victoria Business School, Victoria University of Wellington.
