Doctoral Researcher at University College Dublin
I am a doctoral candidate in Quantitative and Computational Social Science at UCD and work on the Democracy Challenged project funded by the ERC. My research revolves around tax avoidance of multinational enterprises, specifically big tech and big pharma. The goal is to map and understand channels and mechanisms of tax avoidance and to point out the effects on democratic institutions and inequality issues.
Additionally, I am also part of Aletheia Research Institution, where I founded and co-lead the CHAOS lab (Complexity and Hierarchy Analysis of Organizations and Systems). In CHAOS, we work on interdisciplinary policy research, integrating network analysis and computational approaches into current issues of political economy. I am also a mentor and organiser for Oxford INET's Young Scholar Initiative.
