Welcome,
I am an applied microeconomist and Research Fellow at UNU-WIDER.
My research shows how implementation quality and institutional constraints affect the effectiveness of development interventions, with a focus on vulnerable households and firms in low-capacity settings.
I combine experimental and quasi-experimental methods with large-scale field data collection and policy-engaged research in sub-Saharan Africa.
Currently, I am based at Mozambique’s Ministry of Planning and Development, where I serve as researcher and technical advisor to the Inclusive Growth in Mozambique Programme, a long-term research and capacity-building partnership.
I am on the academic job market 2026/27
Get in touch if you are:
– Interested in collaboration on research
