Research Associate at PolicyEngine · prev. LSE, PwC
I'm a Research Associate at PolicyEngine, where I develop open tools for computational policy analysis grounded in economic modeling and microsimulation.
Alongside this, I apply AI, machine learning, and LLMs across research and policy work — from modelling and analysis to building tools and agentic workflows that make economic research faster and more accessible.
