I am an economist and my research interests include: economic policy, regional economics, corporate performance, innovation and the commercialisation of science (further information is here). My current work is concerned with new developments in innovation policy and assessing the factors that drive regional competiveness and growth.
I am University Senior Lecturer in global macroeconomics at the Judge Business School, Cambridge; Hub Director of the UK-Innovation Research Centre; Assistant Director of the Centre for Business Research, Cambridge; and Fellow of St Catharine’s College, Cambridge.
