I am an agricultural and food economist with research interests situated at the intersection of food policy, health, and economics. My research applies statistical modeling, experimental methods, and Big Data analysis to explore how policies shape consumer decisions and health outcomes. I also specialize in primary data collection, survey design, and programming.
My current research projects explore how calorie labeling policies and industry-led product reformulations influence consumer choices and dietary health, with implications for public health policy. Previous work includes leading studies on the potential of mouse-tracking data for economic analysis, investigating the impact of food supply chain initiatives on consumer trust, and conducting social media analyses using Twitter data.
I hold a PhD in Agricultural and Food Economics and an MSc in Agricultural Economics from the University of Reading. Prior to my academic career, I worked with the World Bank, the European Commission, and the UK鈥檚 Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (DEFRA). My goal is to inform evidence-based policies that promote healthier food environments and improve public health outcomes.
