My research area is in inequalities and human capital, often using big data combined with quasi-experimental methods.
I received my PhD in 2010 from University College London where I spent time at the Centre for Economic Performance at the London School of Economics. I worked before this as a Research Assistant at the Centre for Market and Public Organisation, the University of Bristol, where I obtained a BSc and MSc in Economics. I moved in 2010 to the University of York, holding a British Academic Postdoctoral Fellowship and in 2025 joined the University of Manchester.
