Research Summary
I have worked on numerous research projects in different areas of public policy with the main focus being on assessing public policies using quantitative policy evaluation tools. I have extensive experience in using experimental and quantitative policy evaluation methods in the developing world (e.g. Sierra Leone, Liberia, Tanzania, Namibia and China). Since 2000 I have raised and managed over £3 million of research funding grants. I have published over 50 scholarly articles, chapters, volumes and policy reports.
