About me

I am an economic historian specialising in development economics, labour coercion, and colonial legacies.  I obtained my M.Sc. and Ph.D. in Economic History at Lund University in Sweden and recently finished my stint as a postdoctoral research associate at the University of Cambridge. I am currently back at my alma mater as a Researcher at Lund University.

​I have developed broad research interests and currently contribute to a wide variety of projects, such as the biggest African Economic History research project in the world, an exciting project on labour economics and labour market integration in West Africa, as well as a project on resilience to economic shrinking as a catching-up strategy.  Along with these projects, I am also interested in the statistical analysis of academic works, especially the changing of co-publication patterns and their impact on research policy and the global enterprise of science.
