I am a postdoctoral research associate at the Centre for Business Research, Cambridge Judge Business School, University of Cambridge, and a research associate at Peterhouse College, University of Cambridge.
In my current research, I study the interaction between the judiciary and economic change within the historical context of the early stages of the social welfare system in Britain. I also contribute to a small but rapidly growing research field that utilises language processing (NLP) and machine learning (ML) approaches to examine the structure of legal texts.
My postdoctoral research has been funded by the ESRC and the Keynes Fund for Applied Economics at the Faculty of Economics, University of Cambridge.
I received my Ph.D. in Economics in June 2023 at the King's Business School, King's College London. My dissertation, "Computational Text Analysis on Central Bank Communication Strategies," examines central bankers' speeches to the general public and evaluates their usefulness in forecasting macroeconomic measures. The research focuses on three major central banks: the European Central Bank, the Bank of England, and the Federal Reserve.
I hold an M.A. in International Economics and Finance from the Johns Hopkins School of Advanced International Studies (SAIS).
