I’m a Professor of Economics at the Department of Economics, University of Oxford, Fellow by Special Election at St. Catherine’s College (where I was a Tutorial Fellow from 2017 until 2024), and a Professorial Research Fellow at the Institute for New Economic Thinking at the Oxford Martin School. I direct the MSc in Financial Economics programme and co-direct the (part-time, hybrid) MSc in Applied Financial Economics which is launching in May 2026.
Matt Weinberg and I will serve as the Program Chairs of EC’26.
My current research interests lie mainly in market and mechanism design. I am also interested in environmental economics and I co-lead the Finance Theme at the Leverhulme Centre for Nature Recovery.
I often advise companies, governments and NGOs on auction and market design.
I am also co-founder of Refugees.AI, an organisation that is developing new technology for refugee resettlement (originally funded by Skoll Centre for Social Entrepreneurship).
