About Me

I am a third-year Ph.D. candidate in the Department of Economics at LSE, working both empirically and experimentally, and with a little bit of theory. I broadly focus on organisational economics and economics and psychology with an interest in mental wellbeing, and frequently find myself working with generative AI or studying its implications.

I am affiliated with the Altruistic Capital Lab and a Ph.D. affiliate at the LSE Data Science Institute.

I also co-organise the Economics Applicant Mentoring Programme (AMP), a graduate student-led initiative across the Economics departments at LSE, Cambridge, Oxford, UCL, and Warwick that matches applicants with Ph.D. student mentors to guide them through research pathways and the Ph.D. application process.
