My research focuses on economic theory particularly in the realm of labour economics, gender economics, mathematical economics, and the marriage market. I am interested in theoretical frameworks and their practical applications, especially in understanding how markets function in allocating labour and shaping social dynamics such as marriage. I am also interested in search theory, which examines decision-making processes in uncertain environments, and applied theories that explore real-world implications of economic concepts.

• Applied theory, Search theory.
• Micro Economy
• Mathematical Models
• Labour Market
• Marriage Market
