I am an Assistant Professor (Education) in the Economics department at the London School of Economics. I have research experience in causal inference that spans a broad range of economic subfields, labour economics, health economics, industrial organization, and general applied microeconomics. My current work explores how large language models can be used as research and pedagogical tools in economics, including their capacity to generate meaningful feedback on empirical work. I am also extending my earlier PNAS-published work on kidney matching to optimize allocation from deceased donors to paediatric patients.

I teach econometrics at the undergraduate, masters, and PhD levels at LSE, from introductory methods (EC1C1, EC2C3) through to applied quantitative economics (EC475, co-taught with Xavier Jaravel) and the first-year econometrics sequence for PhD students (EC443). I care about making technical material accessible without sacrificing rigor, and about equipping students to critically evaluate empirical claims, whether in academic research, policy analysis, or increasingly, AI-assisted work.

The LSE Impact Blog made a post about a paper I published with Richard McManus and Adelina Gschwandtner.

The Standard, The Washington Times, and The Times had articles based on a paper I published with Adelina Gschwandtner. I don't think the last one is free to access. There were even some more.
