Person

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, with a focus on the role of family firms in reshaping trade and finance during the long eighteenth century.

My thesis explores Hope & Company, a British-Dutch merchant and banking house, and its role in integrating European and colonial trade and credit systems between 1740 and 1830. I argue that firms such as Hope & Company 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 welcome collaborations and inquiries from researchers and students working on early modern social and economic history, especially those focusing on family firms, mercantile networks, or the integration of European and colonial economies.
