I am an Associate Professor (Senior Lecturer) at the Department of Economics of the University of Sheffield.

​

My research focuses on issues related to urban and regional economics, the economics of innovation, international economics, and firms' productivity.

​

I hold a PhD in economics from the University of Birmingham and I previously worked as a fellow in economic geography at the London School of Economics.

I am currently a British Academy Innovation Fellow at the ONS Survey and Economic Indicators division, and part of the Council of Experts of the Innovation and Research Caucus.
