My research expertise is in applied econometrics. I am particularly interested in the causes and consequences of health inequalities and evaluating policies that mitigate or excaerbate these inequalities. I am interested in understanding how both structural level factors and policy impacts on inequalities across generations and the life course. I am also interested in engaging with a wide range of stakeholders to make complex quantitative data anaylsis accesible and user friendly.

My research interests include the causes and consequences of health inequalities including the persistence of inequalities across generations and how the environment contributes to these; and policy evaluation and linkage of novel datasets.

I am an External Examiner for University of South Wales and a member of International Health Economics Association and Lead Convenor of the Teaching Health Economics Group as well as a member of the Health Economics Study Group

I am interested in supervising students in the areas of health inequalities in particular place based, integenerational inequalities, and inequalities across the life course
