Welcome to My Website
This site outlines my research, data visualisations, and policy analysis.
About
I'm George, a Research Assistant in Economics at the London School of Economics (LSE). I am based in the Policy Hub of the Huth Initiative for a New Political Economy.
I completed my MSc at LSE studying Inequalities and Social Science in 2026. I also completed my BSc at LSE, where I studied International Social and Public Policy and Economics.
My main area of interest is in financial behaviour and, more specifically, whether tax-efficient investment accounts (ISAs in the UK context) can bridge the wealth divide.
A special note of gratitude to Professor Richard Davies, Josh Hellings, and Finn McEvoy for their instruction in PP434; their excellent teaching provided the technical foundation that allowed me to build this site from scratch.
Technical Skills: Python (Pandas, Scraper, Sklearn), Vega-Lite, HTML/CSS, APIs, and GeoJSON mapping.
