Research
I am a labour economist working on human capital formation. My research focuses on education access, non-financial barriers, and peer effects. I combine experimental and quasi-experimental methods with structural models to study public policy and inform its design.
Teaching
At UCL, I won the 2019 Provost's Education Award (awarded to 10 out of around 8,000 faculty) for outstanding contributions to education. You can view student evaluations here, watch a short video created by students about one of my courses here, and read my blog posts on teaching here, here, and here.
Policy and Public Engagement
I share research-based insights on education policy with policymakers and practitioners.
