Hi, I am Aliyah, a first-year PhD student in the Department of Economics at the University of Texas, Austin. My research interests are in economic theory, specifically at the intersection of microeconomic theory, psychology, and development. Before starting graduate school, I studied economics and French as an undergraduate.

Aside from economics, I love to fuel whichever direction my creative interests take me in. I have been training in classical dance for around two decades, and also write about politics, films, my favourite books, and poetry whenever inspiration strikes.

You can explore my research, dance portfolio, and writings at the relevant links above. Please feel free to contact me via email here.
