About me
I am a Research Fellow in the Political Science Department at UCL, where I am working on the Mental Models in Political Economy (MENMOPE) project (PI Prof. Lucy Barnes). I was previously a Research Officer in the LSE’s International Inequalities Institute, and am now a Visiting Fellow there. I completed my PhD in the Government Department at the LSE. My research revolves around four core themes.
1) Social mobility, at both an individual and spatial level, and political discontent.
2) Political effects of inequality and fairness
3) Political implications of the green transition.
4) The political economy of ICT technology diffusion and resultant inequalities.
Before starting my PhD, I worked for 10 years at Deutsche Bank where I was a Director in Global Markets. I worked across both the trading and sales teams. Latterly, I was Head of the European financials investment grade trading desk. My CV and papers are available on this site. Please feel free to contact me.
