I am an early-career Macroeconomist specialised in empirical research on development economics. My primary research interest lies in the areas of growth, institutional development and transformation, political economics and development theories (Marco or Micro). I also have experience with Macroeconomic theory-crafting, DSGE modelling and empirical estimations.
I am currently working on projects involving African countries' institutional development in the shadow of historical colonisation and slavery. I am also exploring the potential for research on the effects of infrastructure and institutional development in African countries, effects of corruption and sustainable development.
I have extensive experience in teaching and administrative duties, and I am a academic champion of the Royal Economic Society DIscover Econoimcs Program. I am committed to uphold the value of the academia and strive for quality research and working culture.
