I am an Assistant Professor at the Department of Economics within Heriot-Watt University's Edinburgh Business School. I am the co-PI on the Energy Institute Statistical Review of World Energy project, where the University, the Energy Institute, and bp collaborate. I also acted as the Project Manager in the former Centre for Energy Economics Research and Policy (CEERP). 

I am generally interested in applied econometrics. My current research has a wide range -- I am interested in applying econometric and machine learning techniques to various economic problems and interesting questions. The areas in which I have built expertise over the years include energy economics and policy, labour market policies and their economic impact, health economics, and education among others. 

Before starting my PhD studies at Heriot-Watt University, I completed my MSc in Economics at University of Edinburgh as a part of the Scottish Graduate Programme in Economics (SGPE). I received my undergraduate degree from Brandeis University in Waltham, MA with a double major (economics and linguistics) and a double minor (mathematics, and German language and literature).
