I am the Official Fellow and Tutor in Economics at Trinity College, and a Lecturer in Economics at the Department of Economics at Oxford University.

Before this, I was a Prize Research Fellow at Nuffield College, Oxford, where I also completed my doctorate. I took my undergraduate and masters degrees at the London School of Economics.

This year, I am teaching some of the M.Phil. first-year Maths Crash Course lectures; a sequence of lectures in Game Theory (as part of the core course in Microeconomics) again for first-year graduate students on the M.Phil.; and the core lectures (and some of the classes) in the new final-year undergraduate option paper Game Theory. I also give tutorials in Microeconomics to the first- and second-year undergraduates of Trinity College.

My main research interest is game theory - in particular, equilibrium selection, evolutionary methods, and information transmission and the use of information in games.

I was a tutor on the Oxford University Business Economics Programme from 2002 to 2005. Since January 2004 I have served as the business manager and secretary to The Review of Economic Studies. I also have served as an associate editor for The Economic Journal since January 2009.
