He worked on the OECD Programme on International Management in Higher Education (IMHE), specifically in the second round of OECD Reviews of Higher Education in Regional and City Development (2009-2011). He has co-edited the forthcoming OECD publication Higher Education in Cities and Regions – For Stronger, Cleaner and Fairer Regions and co-edited eleven regional review reports on higher education in regional development.

Prior to joining the OECD IMHE programme, he worked at the OECD Centre for Local Development. He is the co-author of the OECD LEED working paper Shooting for the Moon: Good Practices in Local Youth Entrepreneurship Support. He also co-authored a chapter on EU enlargement and entrepreneurship in the Balkans for the book Regional Transformation Processes in the Western Balkan Countries, published by the Centre for Regional Studies of the Hungarian Academy of Science. He holds a Degree in Economics and Political Science and a Masters in Economics, both from Trinity College, University of Dublin.

The work entails using three OECD datasets: Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA), and Teaching and Learning International Survey (TALIS) and Education at a Glance (EAG).
