Welcome! 

I am a fellow at the Center for Global Development in Europe. 

My research studies the relationship between evidence and policy, with a focus on the generalizability of evidence, and the use of evidence for policy decisions. 

I have worked in research and policy positions at the World Bank and the UN. I hold a PhD in Economics from the LSE.
