I am a Research Fellow at the University of Newcastle, within the MandEval project — a multi-university research project studying the impact of vaccine mandates on vaccine uptake.
My research focuses on Health, Education, and Law & Economics, where I apply modern econometric tools to large administrative datasets to answer policy-relevant questions.
