I'm a second-year Economics PhD student at the University of Exeter. I am currently visiting Universitat Pompeu Fabra (UPF) as a Visiting PhD student. My PhD research includes:

  • Synthetic Difference-in-Differences with a Continuous Treatment.
  • A Practitioners Guide to Synthetic Difference-in-Differences with Damian Clarke & Diego Ciccia.
  • On Triply Robust Panel Estimation in Stata with Damian Clarke, Susan Athey, Guido Imbens, Zhaonan Qu & Davide Vivian.

My research uses econometrics, a statistical technique used to analyse causal effects while holding other things fixed. I thoroughly enjoy coding, and my favourite languages are Pascal (Delphi), Python, and R. Typically, I solve problems by creating algorithms, simulations, web-scraping, data cleaning, or applying econometric techniques.
