- Profile
-
I am Assistant Professor in the School of Economics at the University of Sheffield. I am also Senior Visiting Fellow at LSE Social Policy Department, IZA Research Fellow, and RFBerlin Research Fellow.
As an applied economist, I investigate the origins of human capital inequality, focusing on the pivotal roles of family and school. My research explores how these inequalities impact educational outcomes and the labor market. By uncovering the mechanisms driving inequality, I aim to inform policies that promote more equitable and effective educational and economic systems. For up-to-date info on my research and activities please visit my website.
