IPL expertise: economic policy and inclusive and sustainable economic development.
An economist by training, I work across disciplines. I have particular expertise in the global economics and geopolitics of the world car industry, and am currently investigating sustainable forms of mobility with due regard to the environmental and ecological downsides of electric vehicle technologies as well as their advantages over gasoline dependent vehicles in reducing carbon emissions, including tensions around access to and control over critical materials like lithium and cobalt. (See for example: https://www.historytoday.com/archive/behind-times/road-again). I have participative research experience inside car plants, and am a member of the steering committee for GERPISA ('the international research network of the automobile').
I also work on industrial policy as a vehicle for evolving social practices of participative democracy, and on poverty and prosperity in global cities.
