Where economic rigor meets AI fluency
An academic economist whose research, teaching, and consultancy all run on AI. Twenty years inside competition economics and digital regulation — 50+ publications, a Routledge volume, an editorship at Competition and Regulation in Network Industries (SAGE). Today, that same work is being rebuilt around the most capable AI tools available: AI workflows for competition and regulation teams at leading international law firms, training on next-generation legal AI platforms, and AI-native research on the regulatory record itself.
How I work.
Research, teaching, consulting, and writing — four strands of one practice. Each leans on the same habit: reading a hard economic or regulatory problem closely, then using AI to go further than I could on my own. The academic work earns the right to speak; the AI fluency keeps it current.
Academic Economics & Teaching

The Competition Board’s “Intellectual DNA”: A Citation Network and Case Law Mapping Analysis
Forthcoming working paper. Combines AI analysis of legal texts with citation network analysis to map how reasoning, precedent, and authority propagate through a national competition authority’s case law over time.
Recent writing.
Working on something where economics, regulation, and AI meet?
I work with competition and regulation teams at leading international law firms, with academic institutions, and on independent research at the intersection of AI and economics. If that overlaps with what you’re doing, I’d like to hear about it.
