Un­der­stand the causes of things and make the world a bet­ter place

I am currently a PhD Fellow in the Department of Economics at CBS, funded by the European Commission’s MSCA Doctoral Networks. I am affiliated with the Copenhagen School of Energy Infrastructure (CSEI) and work on the POTENT research project. This research explores the evolving role of ports as green energy hubs and their socio-economic implications. It aims to contribute meaningfully to academia, the business sector, society, and international policymaking.

I hold a BSc (Hons) in Philosophy, Politics, and Economics from the University of Warwick, an MSc in Development Studies from the London School of Economics, and a CEMS Double Degree, Master’s in International Business and Master’s in International Management, from the Stockholm School of Economics and CBS.

My research interests include energy economics, political economy, economic development, innovation, technology and trade, energy transition, structural transformation, green industrial policy, and global value chains
