Hi,
I am an Assistant Professor at University College London.
I study how social policies shape people’s economic security in a changing world of work, with a particular focus on unemployment, inequality, and power.
Much of this work sits between economics and sociology. It appears in the American Economic Journal: Economic Policy, the Journal of Public Economics, and the American Sociological Review, and has been covered by The New Yorker, Financial Times, BBC, CNN, and Nature.
I completed my PhD at the University of Oxford in 2024, after studying at MIT, UC Berkeley, LSE and WU Vienna. I have also worked in the office of the OECD Chief Economist and at the ILO. My dissertation won the Upjohn Institute Dissertation Prize, the LERA Best Dissertation Award, and the ESRC Prize for Outstanding Early Career Impact.
