Welcome, 

I am a Lecturer in Economics at the Department of Economics, King's Business School, King's College London. I am also an academic supervisor at the Institute of Finance and Technology, University College of London, and a chief examiner for the University of London International Programme (Econometrics). Before joining King's, I lectured and conducted research at the London School of Economics as an LSE Fellow in Economics, and at the University of Warwick as a postdoctoral fellow (in Economics). I completed my PhD in Economics at the University of Nottingham in 2018. 

I use both theory and data to answer questions at the intersection of economics and public policies. My research interests include Development Economics, Public Economics, and Applied Econometrics. My current research focuses on the economics of nonprofit organisations, financial data, public good provision (housing, security, preferential tax treatment, and public procurement), and innovation. 

I have lectured courses in econometrics and macroeconomics at King's, LSE, and Warwick, and led seminars (tutorials) in various courses at Nottingham. 

From March 2023, I am the GTA Lead at King's Business School. I am affiliated with the King's Institute for Artificial Intelligence since September 2023, and a member of KBS Steering Group on GenAI.
