I am Assistant Professor of Public Policy at Monash University, Indonesia. I hold a Ph.D. in public policy from the Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy at the National University of Singapore. I have previously taught at the School of Humanities and Behavioral Sciences, Singapore University of Social Sciences, and was a visiting Fox International Fellow at the MacMillan Centre for International and Area Studies, Yale University.

I have a diverse academic background and extensive experience of consulting and working with governments, academic institutions, community-based organizations and international agencies, including the World Bank, ILO, IDRC and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation for developing, implementing and evaluating field action research projects in India.

I specialize in public policy and public administration with a keen interest in health policy and health systems, public systems, social policy and development. My research is centered around public sector reform and the governance challenges of public service delivery in resource-poor settings, transitional economies and non-Western contexts, particularly South and Southeast Asia. My work touches on themes of policy design, dynamics of policy change, performance management, market-based governance, competition and quasi-markets, collaborative governance, public-private partnership, data-driven policymaking, knowledge translation and policy-induced social inequities.

I am available to supervise Ph.D. students interested in the organization, management and governance of public systems and services, dynamics of policy change and reform, market-based governance, competition, quasi-markets and public-private partnerships, performance management in public organizations, data-driven policymaking, social inequality in public policy and policy-induced inequities. Sector wise, my primary expertise is in health policy and health systems but I am open to supervision in other policy arenas, as long as the themes align with at least one of my areas of expertise and research interests. Please get in touch to discuss potential plans or ideas.
