About

Having taught undergraduate and master's courses in economics and finance for more than 5 years at Georgia State and Kazakh-British Technical University, I am fully committed to student-centered education. I use experiments to engage students in research and study human behaviors with a profound impact on social welfare. My research interests are slot machine play, gambling policy, tobacco smoking regulations, and the potential of gamification in higher education. Under the guidance of Prof. Glenn Harrison and Dr. Todd Swarthout, I am on track to receive my Ph.D. in Economics from Georgia State University by May 2025.
