Welcome to my page!

I am a Postdoctoral Researcher, affiliated with the Identity & Conflict Lab at Yale University.

I am also a Research Associate at the Hellenic Observatory at the London School of Economics and an affiliated Post-doctoral Researcher at the University of Piraeus, Department of Economics.

Previously, I have worked as an external researcher  at Harvard Business School, where I studied the implications of refugee resettlement and immigration policies in local communities.

Before that, I held a Post-doctoral Fellow position at the Athens University of Economics and Business (2019-2022), where I studied the peer effects of transferred university students on the educational outcomes of their receiving counterparts. Before this, I worked as an Economic Analyst at the National Bank of Greece Research Department, Division of Greek Macroeconomics (2018- 2019). I have previously worked as a Research Assistant at several institutions, including the London School of Economics, Oxford University, and King’s College London.

My research interests lie in the fields of applied microeconomics and political science with a particular interest in immigration, crime and education.
