What I'm looking for

I am looking for roles that allow me to apply my analytical skills in dynamic environments, focusing on economic and business challenges.

I am a doctoral researcher in Economics with a strong focus on macro-labour, econometrics, and applied data analysis. My expertise lies in utilizing R, Stata, and Python for statistical modeling, data visualization, causal inference, and machine learning applications. Throughout my academic journey, I have gained valuable experience in conducting research, teaching, and engaging in policy-related projects.

Currently, I am pursuing my PhD at Heriot-Watt University, where I have developed logistic and survival regression models to analyze firm-level supply elasticities. My work has involved extensive data analysis using European administrative matched employer-employee data, and I have successfully implemented algorithms to optimize computational processes. I am passionate about applying my analytical skills to real-world economic and business challenges, and I am eager to contribute to impactful projects in the field.
