About


I am a Postdoctoral Researcher at the Future of Food Programme at the Oxford Martin School, University of Oxford, and a Research Fellow at the Institute for New Economic Thinking. I have a DPhil in Geography and the Environment from the University of Oxford and hold degrees in economics.
I apply complexity science and systems thinking to the economics of environmental change. I use data-driven and computational approaches to explore a wide range of questions related to supply-chain networks and integrated assessment models (IAMs).
My current work focuses on the socio-economic and environmental dimensions of food system transformations, with an emphasis on socio-economic resilience and shock propagation. I also explore how IAMs can be made more empirically grounded, ecologically meaningful and policy-relevant, and I am working towards an agent-based model of the food system.
I have contributed to the empirical characterisation of firm-level production networks and developed methods to reconstruct missing data in these networks, supporting more realistic and granular representations of the economy.
I collaborate with the Climate Litigation Lab at the Oxford Sustainable Law Programme, Smith School of Enterprise and the Environment, on the economics of carbon capture and storage (CCS). I have also contributed to work assessing the relative costs of CCS-heavy and CCS-light mitigation pathways, which has been cited in international media and referenced in policy discussions, including at COP.
I am passionate about understanding how societies and economies can transform in ways that respond to the climate and ecological crises while advancing justice and equity. Through my research, I aim to provide insights that are not only academically rigorous but also relevant for policy and practice, helping to shape pathways towards more sustainable futures.
