About me

I am an Assistant Professor at CERGE-EI, Prague. I am also Co-founder of Path2Work and a Research Affiliate at the Immigration Policy Lab (Stanford/ETH Zurich). From 2019-2025, I was a Senior Researcher at the Public Policy Group, ETH Zurich. Before that, I was at the Economic and Social Research Institute, Dublin. I hold an MSc in Economics from University of Edinburgh and a PhD in Economics from Heriot-Watt University, Edinburgh.

Research

I am interested in applying causal inference and data science to policy-relevant questions. My empirical research focuses on migration and labor economics. I also have a strong interest in methogological questions, especially relating to the use of machine learning for causal inference. My research has been published in peer-reviewed journals such as Journal of Applied Econometrics, World Development, and Economics Letters.
