I am a DPhil student in Social Policy at the Department of Social Policy and Intervention at the University of Oxford. In my research, I focus on various fields in economics and political science using methods on causal inference and machine learning. In my PhD dissertation, I apply natural language processing models to quantify legislative text in an algorithmic way. Beyond my research work, I follow my passion for data science and coding also in other projects. I hold a bachelor’s degree in Economics from Zeppelin University (with semester abroad at Columbia University) and a master’s degree in International Political Economy from London School of Economics (LSE). Before and during my doctoral studies, I have worked as Consultant, Researcher and Research Assistant at IMF, Oxford, LSE, UCL, King's College, EBRD and Lead Machine Learning.
