About Me

I am an applied economist interested in economic and political issues related to technology, the environment, energy and development. I am currently based at the Centre for Economic Performance (CEP), London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE) as a Research Economist. Before joining CEP, I was a Faraday Institution Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the University of Birmingham, where I gained an MSc degree in International Economics (2015) and a PhD degree in Economics (2019). My active research topics include:

  • Innovation, productivity, and sustainable growth.
  • The politics of climate-related natural disasters.
  • Low-carbon technology, resource security, and circular economy.
  • Climate, water resources, energy, and development.
