Thank you for visiting my page! 

I am a Visiting Associate Professor at the SARChI Industrial Development and a Senior Researcher at the Centre for Competition, Regulation and Economic Development (CCRED) University of Johannesburg (UJ), South Africa. Before joining UJ, I was a Research Officer at the Technology and Management Centre for Development (TMCD), Oxford Department of International Development (ODID), University of Oxford. I was also a Global Excellence and Stature (GES) Fellow and Open AIR’s Queen Elizabeth’s Scholar (QES) at the SARChI Industrial Development, University of Johannesburg, South Africa.

I obtained my Ph.D. in Economics of Innovation, Policy Studies of Technical Change and Governance in May 2018 from the United Nations University (UNU-MERIT)/Maastricht University, The Netherlands. I also hold a collaborative Master of Philosophy (M. Phil) in Economics from the University of Cape Coast (Ghana) and the African Economic Research Consortium’s Joint Facility for Electives: Collaborative Masters Programme (CMAP) in Economics.

I research broadly on development economics with interests in innovation, technologies, industrial development, labour markets, firm behaviour, and a focus on developing countries.
