SHORT BIOGRAPHY
I am a Lecturer in Economics at the University of Kent and my current research focuses on renewable technologies, environmentally friendly transportation, and changing attitudes towards working from home due to Covid-19. Previously, I worked as a MSc Dissertation Supervisor at the UCL Bartlett School of Environment, Energy and Resources, providing academic guidance to students on topics in energy and environmental economics. Furthermore, I worked as a Research Fellow in the School of Economics at the University of Nottingham, as a Teaching Associate at Queen Mary University of London, as a Research Fellow at the University of Surrey, and as a Research Associate at the University of Manchester. I hold a PhD in Economics from the University of Essex and my thesis focused on topics in labour economics. I received my MSc in Economics and BSc (Hons) in Financial Economics from the University of Essex. I was awarded the Postgraduate Certificate in Higher Education from the University of Kent, and Advance HE Fellowship in 2024.

My projects on working from home can be seen here: WFH Research. I am also involved in analysing remote working and the geographical distribution of local service spending. Furthermore, I am examining the effects of demographic factors and commuting patterns on employees’ willingness versus employers’ planning for their staff to work from home.
My projects in energy economics currently focus on examining the diffusion of solar photovoltaic panels and water heating panels in the UK. In addition, I am also analysing the impacts of information and communication technologies on energy use. Apart from this, I am also working on the demand for differentiated products in the UK automobile industry using a manually collected dataset.
My research on digitalisation boosting the decarbonisation of industries won this year’s Rybczynski Prize, awarded by the Society of Professional Economists.
