Teaching Responsibilities

Brief Overview​

​

In my current position as a Senior Lecturer in Economics (on Educator Track), at LKYSPP, NUS, I primarily teach courses relevant to macro/international policy issues, which include Macroeconomics for Public Policy, Analytical Issues in Money and Banking and International Economic Development. All these courses are taught with a significant policy emphasis, and calibrated for students coming from diverse academic backgrounds (which typically involves very little background or training in economics). Over the last decade since graduating from the School of Public Policy at George Mason University (GMU), I have gained a fairly wide-ranging teaching experience. One of the distinct advantages of being trained in an inter-disciplinary setting with an applied economics and public policy orientation is to be able to teach a variety of courses drawn from different fields like international economics, macroeconomics, international development and quantitative methods in an accessible, pragmatic and innovative way without compromising the analytical rigor. I'm also currently the co-chair of our flagship graduate program - Master in Public Policy - and the co-convenor of the Policy Analysis Exercise. 

​

In my past teaching stints across both public policy and business schools across South East Asia, Central Asia, and the Middle East, I have taught a wide range of courses from macroeconomics, to empirical methods, to money and banking and international economics (trade/finance) at both the graduate and undergraduate levels.
