Welcome to my website!

I am a Lecturer (Assistant Professor) at the University of Technology Sydney (UTS Business School, Economics Discipline Group). I am also a research affiliate at the Institute of Labor Economics (IZA) in Bonn (Germany).

I was on sabbatical from January to June 2023 and visited the University of New South Wales and the University of Oxford. 

Nathan Kettlewell, Peter Siminski and I organise the 25th Annual Labour Econometrics Workshop (LEW) on Thursday 17 and Friday 18 August at UTS. More information about the workshop can be found here. 

Check out my recent article in the Conversation about paid maternity leave.

I hold a PhD in Economics from the European University Institute and worked as a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Lausanne (NCCR LIVES and Department of Economics) prior to joining UTS.
