Biography

I earned my PhD in Social Policy and Social Work from the University of York. Before my appointment at the University of Nottingham, I served as a research associate on two research projects focusing on British industrial subsidy policies and philanthrocapitalism.

My current research is primarily centered on the business sector, international governmental organizations (IGOs), and non-governmental organizations (NGOs). I am deeply interested in exploring the multifaceted impacts of business persons and their enterprises in the entire process of the public and social policy cycle, which stands at the core of my scholarly inquiries. Methodologically, I specialize in big data analysis, employing various AI algorithms for sentiment analysis.

I currently hold AAR responsibilities as Head of PGT Assessment, ECs and Tutoring
