I am an Assistant Professor of Economics at the University of Sheffield, a Visiting Fellow at the London School of Economics, and a Research Fellow at IZA Network at LISER and Rockwool Foundation, Berlin. I hold a PhD in Economics from the University of Essex.

As an applied microeconomist, my research focuses on the origins of inequality in human capital development, specifically looking at the roles of the family and education systems. By combining causal inference with large-scale administrative and survey data, as well as field experiments, I investigate how family environments and educational institutions shape children's long-term opportunities.

My current projects examine how parental leave, childcare, and gender norms influence both child development and parental labour market trajectories. Additionally, I study how schools, teachers, and educational policies impact students' skills, choices, and social mobility. Ultimately, my goal is to produce rigorous evidence to inform effective family and education policy.

Beyond research, I actively engage with policymakers and the public. My work has been featured in outlets like The Guardian and has informed UK parliamentary inquiries. I currently serve as a panel member for the Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC–UKRI) and regularly review for leading journals and funding bodies. I am an ONS Accredited Researcher.
