About

I am an economist and Managing Consultant at SQW. My background combines research in network economics and game theory with quantitative modelling and applied data analysis. I am interested in how incentives and connections between people, organisations, and markets shape economic outcomes.

Alongside my role at SQW, I continue to teach part time at Heriot-Watt University until December 2026.

Areas of expertise

Economic analysis and incentives

Understanding behaviour, strategic interactions, and policy choices through microeconomics and game theory.

Networks and interdependencies

Examining how connections between people, organisations, and markets shape outcomes and transmit risks.

Data analysis and modelling

Using statistical methods, machine learning, and simulation to investigate decisions and their consequences.

Background

I hold a PhD in Economics from Birkbeck, University of London, where I specialised in network economics and game theory. I have over ten years’ experience in higher education, including research and teaching in microeconomics, game theory, and economic policy.

I have also completed the MIT Applied Data Science Program, developing applied skills in machine learning and statistical modelling. My research and independent projects bring these interests together.
