Lukman is a Master of Public Policy student at the University of Chicago’s Harris School of Public Policy. He has worked across various sectors, including research and policy in the area of development economics and education. At EPIC, he is working with Professor Shaoda Wang to quantify the overall economic costs of China’s “War Against Pollution” by leveraging his coding and quantitative skills. Lukman is a first-generation college student from Jakarta, Indonesia, a city that severely grapples with air pollution.
“I am hoping to gain institutional and domain knowledge of how China tackles air pollution for my future work and study in this policy area. Additionally, I aspire to build networks with other fellows and research professionals at EPIC.”
