Professor of Social Gerontology | Financial Gerontology | UK Data Service • Pensions • Gender Pension Gaps • Financial Wellbeing • Social Policy • Later Life • Data Professor of Social Gerontology and Deputy Director of the UK Data Service. My research focuses on financial security in later life, including pensions, wealth, care, inequality, cognitive decline and financial decision-making. I am particularly interested in how social policy and institutional arrangements shape financial wellbeing across the life course and into old age. As Deputy Director of the UK Data Service, I champion the use of high-quality data for research, policy and public good. My work spans both substantive research and data infrastructure, supporting the use of large-scale surveys, administrative data and computational social science to understand and address major societal challenges. I am a Fellow of the Academy of Social Sciences and past President of the British Society of Gerontology. I regularly work with government departments, pension providers, think tanks and civil society organisations to inform policy and practice relating to ageing populations and later-life financial wellbeing. Current research areas: • Pension accumulation, gender pension gaps, and wealth inequality • Cognitive decline, financial capability, and financial services • Policy and regulatory frameworks for later-life financial wellbeing • Household finances and care of older people • Enhancing data infrastructure and public data literacy I welcome contact from funders, collaborators, policymakers, journalists and third-sector organisations.
