Biography

I am an economic geographer interested in regional economic development implications of the changing spatial distribution of production caused by the proliferations of GPNs in all sectors of the global economy. I am particularly interested in attracting Masters students who may be interested in working at the intersection WIO data/analysis and the study of regional economic impacts of GPN formation and change.
