Welcome!

I am an Assistant Professor of Economics at the London School of Economics, department of International Development.

In 2024, I will also become an Academy Scholar at the Harvard Academy for International and Area Studies.

My research interests lie at the intersection of development economics, political economy and economic history, with a particular focus on the Middle East.
