I joined Lund University in 2020 as a PhD student in the Department of History. My research examines global economic networks, European colonialism, and empire-building, focusing on the role of family firms in reshaping trade and finance during the long eighteenth century.

My thesis explores Hope & Co., a British-Dutch merchant and banking house, and their role in integrating European and colonial trade and credit systems between 1740 and 1830. I argue that firms like Hope & Co. helped transform colonial systems into more rigid, interdependent imperial structures.

I teach several history courses and welcome bachelor’s dissertations on early-modern social and economic history. I also co-organise a monthly reading group for the Network for Early Modern History.

I welcome collaborations and inquiries from researchers and students working on early modern social and economy history, especially family firms, mercantile networks, or integrating European and colonial economies.
