I study how automation and technological change transform firms, workers, and policy design in emerging and advanced economies. My work blends causal inference, structural modelling, and computational social science to produce evidence that can be taken up by practitioners.
This question anchors my agenda. I work across three programmes that quantify how firms reorganise when adopting automation and how workers navigate the transition.
Mapping how firms deploy automation, AI, and data infrastructure—and which governance structures keep productivity gains inclusive.
Studying how emerging economies absorb technological shocks, from urban labour markets to platform work, with a focus on distributional impacts.
Co-developing curricula, mentoring programmes, and digital tools that prepare students and workers for data-rich economic roles.
Evidence from 2.4 million London housing offers reveals how precise list prices anchor bargaining, with implications for consumer protection and agent behaviour.
Interactive dashboards merging large language models with administrative data to track technology shocks and inform training investments.
Selected publications, working papers, and reports. Please reach out for drafts in progress or supplementary materials.

Blends administrative records and network data to map how information travels through formal and informal labour channels.
I work with academics, public agencies, and industry partners to develop evidence-based tools that translate into action. Whether you have data to unlock or a policy question to test, I'd love to explore it together.
