Personal profile

Research interests

My main research focus is currently on quantiative analysis of inequalities in the labour market, employment and skills. I use a blend of r, python and other programming techniques to analyse and model longitudinal and web-based data sources on skills and individuals over time in the UK. In particular, I am interested in the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on changes to skills in jobs and individuals. 

Previously, I worked at the Growth Company as a data analyst on regional development funded projects (2020-22), at the ILO in Brussels on EU policy briefs (2019-20) and at KU Leuven in Belgium on the SDGs and private Sector Development (2018-2019).
