Welcome to my webpage!

I am an Assistant Professor in Economics and the Programme Director for Work Placements at the School of Business, National College of Ireland. I am a Senior Fellow of the UK Higher Education Academy and an Associate of The Economic Network.

My research primarily explores two key areas:

Firm Competition & Consumer Behaviour, investigating market structures, firm strategies, and consumer decision-making, with public policy implications.

Labour Market Outcomes of Higher Education Graduates, examining the transition from university to the workforce, with emphasis on the role of work placements in shaping graduate employability.

Additionally, I am expanding my research into Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion (EDI) in Higher Education, exploring challenges related to access, retention, and student success to drive more equitable outcomes across the sector.
