About me

I am an economic historian specialized in development economics, labor 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 to 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.

​Complementary to my research assignments, my teaching experience encompasses courses covering academic writing, methods, and colonialism in Africa and Latin America. For my work as a teacher, I have been awarded the Teacher of the Year prize in 2020 by Lund University School of Economics and Management.
