Bio:

I am Professor of Economics and Data Science at the University of Cambridge. I am also a Fellow of Trinity College Cambridge, and a Research Affiliate at CEPR, HCEO, IZA, and  PRIO. I work with complex datasets and applied methodologies, including machine learning and structural modelling. I am a co-founder of conflictforecast.org and have conducted multiple projects with the FCDO, German Foreign Office, and IMF. I have published in top Economics and Political Science journals, such as American Political Science Review, Journal of European Economic Association, and Journal of Public Economics. My work has been featured widely across the media including The Guardian, Washington Post, the Economist, the BBC, FAZ, and Der Spiegel. I am listed amongst the top 1% of Economists in terms of research output in the last ten years.
