About me
I am a Research Officer at the LSE’s International Inequalities Institute. I recently completed my PhD in Political Science at the London School of Economics Government Department. My research revolves around three core themes. My PhD focussed on individuals’ social
mobility and political discontent. Second, I am interested in the political implications of the green transition. My other current research agenda is in 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 ran the financials investment grade trading desk in Europe. My CV and papers are available on this site. Please feel free to contact me.
