At present, I am an economist at the Hong Kong Institute for Monetary and Financial Research (HKIMR), tasked to conduct cutting-edge economic research, as well as thought leadership on current issues relevant to senior financial sector leaders. Previously, I was at the Central Bank of Malaysia (BNM) between 2018-24, where my last position was senior economist at the Data, Analytics and Research unit, of which I was a founding member. During the COVID-19 pandemic, I was seconded to the Ministry of Health (MoH) and then the National Institutes of Health Malaysia (NIH) in 2021-22 to lead and manage various data science projects, as well as vaccine effectiveness research to assist high-level pandemic control decisions. In 2023, I provided economic modelling advisory to various workstreams in the Advisory Committee to the Finance Minister (ACFIN). In Q4 2023, I was visiting economist at the Bank for International Settlements.
