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.
I’m an associate editor at the Review for Economics and Statistics and at Games and Economic Behavior. Matt Weinberg and I 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).
