CEPAR research fellow Dr Dandan Yu from the UNSW node has been recognised with a Dean’s Award for her PhD thesis ‘Three Essays on Household Decision-Making’.

The Dean’s Award for Outstanding PhD Theses recognises PhD graduates who have been commended by their thesis examiners.

“I feel very honoured to receive this award, and I would like to sincerely thank my PhD supervisors Professors Denzil Fiebig and Denise Doiron,” said Dr Yu.

Dandan Yu joined the CEPAR UNSW Sydney node as a Research Fellow, working on research projects focused on population ageing in Asia.
