I am a Senior Research Economist at the Department for Education. My research uses administrative microdata, causal inference methods, and quantitative modelling to study labour-market frictions, wage-setting, skills, education, and public policy. 

Previously, I worked at the Bank of England, the Institute for Fiscal Studies (IFS), and the Institute for Policy Research, applying advanced empirical methods to inform policymaking across government, central banking, and regional economic institutions. At the Bank of England, I developed machine-learning models of firm wage-setting behaviour that were featured in the February 2026 Monetary Policy Report and referenced in Financial Times coverage of UK monetary policy.

I hold a PhD in Economics from the University of Bath. My research has been presented at international conferences and includes a revise-and-resubmit at the Journal of Labor Economics. Current projects examine labour-market frictions, monopsony, adult education, and the interaction between public-sector pay policy and private-sector wage setting.
