Teaching philosophy

I believe students learn best when they can immediately connect theory to lived economic challenges. Each session blends narrative, computation, and collaborative problem-solving so students graduate with both analytical rigour and practical instincts.

  • Applied first: Labs launch with policy datasets before we formalise the model.
  • Evidence-based: We use emerging research, including my own projects, to spark debate.
  • Inclusive: Classroom rituals ensure everyone contributes, learns, and feels heard.

Helping students turn data into policy insight

Recent teaching roles span undergraduate capstones, MSc econometrics, and bespoke skills labs for policy partners.
