Profile

Biography

I am a Lecturer in Economics at the Department of Economics and Related Studies. I am also a Research Associate at the Institute for Fiscal Studies and a Research Affiliate at the Institute of Labor Economics.

Previously, I was a Junior Research Fellow at the University of Cambridge where I did my post-doctoral work. I received my PhD in Economics from the University of Oxford.

Research

Overview

My research interests include the economics of education, health economics, as well as behavioural and experimental economics. Broadly, I'm interested in understanding what drives differences in educational and health outcomes and how we can improve opportunities for all.

Supervision

I would be happy to supervise dissertations in applied microeconomics and especially on the following subfields: economics of education, health economics, labour economics, experimental economics.
