About

I am a Professor of Political Economy at the Department Political Science, University College London.

I study a range of issues falling within comparative politics, public policy, and comparative political economy, where my focus is on industrialised democracies. A selection of my research papers and my cv are available on this site.

Since summer 2022, I have served as my department’s Director of Education, with responsibilities covering all aspects of our educational and student experience activities, including developing new taught programmes and planning and overseeing quality assurance processes. For three years before that, I was Deputy Director of Education with particular responsibility for Admissions and Student Engagement. I arrived at UCL in 2014 to take up the role of founding Programme Director for the BSc in Philosophy, Politics, and Economics (PPE).

Between January 2011 and June 2014, I was an Ussher Assistant Professor of Political Economy at the Department of Political Science at Trinity College, Dublin.

Before moving to Dublin, I was a doctoral (DPhil) student in Politics at Nuffield College, Oxford.
