| About me | |||
|
I am a PhD student at the London School of Economics and Political Science, where I have been studying since September 2008. I live in Cambridge, UK, with my wife Catherine. I enjoy reading, travelling, photography, cooking and gardening as well as going to the gym. |
|||
| My work | |||
| I
specialise in the Economics of Education, with a particular emphasis on
applied aspects of the economics of higher education in the United Kingdom. My
supervisors are
Dr Steve Gibbons and
Dr Olmo Silva at the Geography &
Environment Department of the LSE, where I am a member of the Economic
Geography Cluster. More broadly, I am interested in applied
micro-econometrics and labour economics. I am a Research Assistant at the ESRC-funded Spatial Economics Research Centre, and have supervised students in Development and Statistics at Trinity Hall, Cambridge. I have also worked as an economist and outside consultant to the economic consultancy, Cambridge Econometrics. |
