I am a NUAcT Fellow at Newcastle Business School, where I explore the social value of the arts and wellbeing in lower-income households. I have also been an Assistant Professor in Economics at King Saud University for several years. I hold an MSc in Economics from the University of York and a PhD in Economics from the University of Reading, where I am a Visiting Fellow leading a study on inequality beliefs. 

My research background involves global and cross-country analysis to better understand the role of institutions in shaping unequal outcomes, which broadly draws on the political economy of institutions in relation to sustainability. I am interested more broadly in sustainability issues and the role of institutions in generating environmental, social, and fiscal inequalities. This interest spans various fields, from energy-environmental economics to the creative industries.
