Innovation · Behaviour · Information
I am a Research Associate at the El-Erian Institute of Behavioural Economics and Policy at the University of Cambridge and a Postdoctoral Research Associate at Queens’ College.
My research examines how policy, institutions, and information shape technological change and behaviour. I use quasi-experimental methods and natural language processing to study questions in innovation and public economics. My current work focuses on intellectual property, public procurement, and sustainable innovation.
I completed my PhD in Economics at the University of St Andrews, where I was supervised by Prof. Andy Zapechelnyuk, Prof. David A. Jaeger, and Dr Min Zhang. Before starting my PhD, I worked as a market analyst and economic researcher.
I also write about the history of invention, with a keen interest in women whose contributions have been overlooked. This page presents a selection of women patentees active between 1850 and 1950.
