About

I am a Postdoctoral Research Fellow in the History, Heritage and Politics group at the University of Stirling in Scotland. I work with Prof. Paul Cairney in the Horizon Europe project “WAge Working Environments for healthy ageing“.

Prior to my time at Stirling, I was a postdoctoral researcher at Eindhoven University of Technology. I received my PhD (2022) from University College London. Situated within the Institute for Innovation and Public Purpose, my research was supervised by Mariana Mazzucato. Before my PhD, I took an MPhil (2017) and a BA (2016) in Philosophy, both at the University of Cambridge.
