I am an Assistant Professor at the Department of Social Policy, London School of Economics, and affiliated with the International Inequalities Institute, Young Lives, and Nuffield College, University of Oxford.

My research interests include social and educational inequalities, social mobility, and cross-border policy diffusion with a particular (but not exclusive) focus on emerging and developing economies. Within this agenda, I have been awarded a European Research Council Starting Grant, commencing in 2027, to investigate education systems and life chances in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs).
