Personal Biography

I joined Corpus in 2021. I am currently a Research Fellow in Economics at the Centre for Business Taxation in the Saïd Business School.

I completed my PhD at the University of Oslo in August 2021. During my doctoral studies, I was a Fulbright Scholar at the University of California, Berkeley and a Fund Intern at the Fiscal Affairs Department in the International Monetary Fund.

My earlier studies include a Master’s in Economic Theory and Econometrics from the University of Oslo and an MSc in Philosophy and Public Policy from the London School of Economics.

Research and Teaching

My research is in public economics with a focus on taxation. I am also interested in welfare economics and the application of various fairness criteria to tax policy. My research typically combines theory and empirics. I have recently worked on optimal taxation, fair tax policies, and behavioural responses to taxation.

At Corpus, I provide tutorials in Microeconomics. Prior to coming to Oxford, I taught a range tutorials and lectures at the University of Oslo.
