I am an Economic Historian, and from September 2025, I am a Lecturer in Department of Economics at the University of Manchester. I completed my PhD in Economic History at the London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE), and I hold a Postdoctoral Fellowship awarded by the Economic History Society (EHS) in 2025, hosted at Oxford University. 

My research lies at the intersection of economic history and political economy. Particularly, I am interested in social mobility, marriage assortment, meritocracy, and the role of institution.
