Many Books
Academics

I am an Economist specialized in Applied Micro. My most satisfying professional experience so far is to bring students to a research conference, which is the culmination of teaching and research.

Hobby

I nerd out on Coffee, soccer, and Pokemon Go. Kinda picked these up in the pandemic and they stick, probably to an unhealthy degree. 

Oh, and I sketch too.

​

​

Personality

I am fluent in English and native in Vietnamese, but my most effective language is sarcasm. I bring some of that to classes too.

I hang best with people who appreciate  some loose and fun environment

Entrepreneurship

I co-founded a business to help students through college application and provide AP & IELTS courses. This is not to be distracted from the primary duty of teaching and research, but to leave a mark on humanity. Money is secondary, although I wouldn't mind making a dime off of these.

My teaching interests include everything Micro or Applied Micro. My favorites so far are Urban Econ, Health Econ, and Applied Econometrics, for their rigor and applicability.  I try to keep all of my classes fun, intriguing, and hands on whenever possible. Find out more about my teaching here.
