Welcome to my academic webpage. This page is no longer being updated. 

Previously, I was a Lecturer (Assistant Professor) in Economics at the University of York, a Research Associate at the Institute for Fiscal Studies, and a Research Affiliate at the Institute of Labor Economics.

Before that, 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 in 2020.

My research focused on the fields of education and health economics, with the aim of understanding the drivers of educational performance and health outcomes.
