My interests are around impacts of new forms of digital technology in the labour market and how these may adversely affect some groups of workers. Alongside this I will explore the potential role of regulatory and labour market reform to provide protection to those workers.
As an Impact Lead for the Digit Research Centre, I will work to bring the research findings into the public and policy domain.
