I first joined the Civil Service in 2006 to work at the Office for National Statistics, on health analysis. I moved to HM Treasury in 2015. Before joining the Civil Service, I worked as an academic researcher at the University of Bristol, where I also completed my MSc and PhD.

Oscar has been interested in CORE since the inception of this project. He believes that undergraduate teaching in economics has been in a protracted methodological and content stagnation, and hence, must undergo a profound reform to remain relevant to contemporary economics, business, policy and ethical questions that students bring to campuses around the world. CORE is a significant effort in that direction that must be supported.
