Welcome to my website! I am an economist studying the technological shift towards a low carbon and increasingly digital economy and the challenges involved in making these transitions just and inclusive. I recently joined Durham University as an Assistant Professor in the Law School and Economics Department, where I am part of the JusTN0W Initiative.
I am also an Associate of the Growth Programme and the Programme on Innovation and Diffusion at the Centre for Economic Performance.
I hold a PhD in Environmental Economics from the London School of Economics. My thesis studied how the transition away from high-carbon, polluting technologies shapes countries’ competitive advantage in international trade and how it is in turn affected by trade tensions arising from concerns over the former, as well as broader technological developments such as advances in artificial intelligence.
Before joining Durham, I was a Research Economist in Productive and Inclusive Net Zero and the Programme on Innovation and Diffusion at the Centre for Economic Performance. I have also worked as a Researcher at the Oxford Martin Programme on the Future of Work.
