I graduated with a thesis on welfare markets created around private pension and schools. It showed the growth of these markets in the United States, Germany and Sweden and that both the left and right have implemented and promoted these markets in various ways. Following postdoc positions in Edinburgh, St Andrews and Dundee (all Scotland, UK), I am lecturing in social and public policy at the University College Dublin since 2015. Since 2020 I am directing the Master of Public Policy programme.
