研究者プロフィール
当プログラムを利用するに至った経緯
Having attended and presented my research findings at various academic workshops and conferences in several countries in Europe, I have developed a strong interest in the research environments there. I aspire to return to Europe as a visiting scholar to further explore these environments.
When I joined WIAS in the 2024 academic year, I learned about a call for applications for a short-term visit at the Aarhus Institute for Advanced Studies, Aarhus University, Denmark. This opportunity immediately intrigued me and I thought to myself the opportunity has come. A quick search on AIAS not only impressed me with its beautiful and interdisciplinary working environment but also revealed the biographies of professors and senior researchers in the fields of Health Economics and Development Economics whose research interests align closely with my ongoing projects. An exchange program at AIAS would be an invaluable opportunity for me to advance my on-going research so, I prepared and submitted my application to AIAS without hesitation.
研究計画
I am fortunate to have the support of Professor Nabanita Datta Gupta, the Department of Economics and Business Economics, Aarhus University as my host during my stay at AIAS. Professor Nabanita’s renowned work on children health and well-being aligns perfectly with my research. Particularly, I will collaborate with her to examine the intergenerational effects of child marriage laws on early childhood development (e.g., health and cognitive skills) and women’s empowerment across developing countries.
In addition to that I will also participate in seminars and workshops at AIAS and the Department of Economics and Business Economics to gain new knowledge and academic skills from leading scholars.
