I am a scholar in economic history, and from September 2025, I will be joining the Department of Economics at the University of Manchester as a Lecturer. I completed my PhD in Economic History at the London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE), and since October 2024, I have been holding a Postdoctoral Fellowship awarded by the Economic History Society (EHS), hosted at Oxford University. 

My research lies at the intersection of economic history and political economy. Particularly, I am interested in social mobility, marriage assortment, meritocracy, and the role of institution.
