In addition to her academic experience, she has several years’ experience in economic consultancy and has worked with various private sector organisations, government and international bodies, both in the UK and abroad.

Research

She holds a PhD in Development Policy and Management from the University of Manchester (December 2013). Her PhD research contributed to the understanding of the causes of income inequality and is particularly relevant for developing countries who wish to devise adequate pro-poor policies and address concerns of social justice. Her research has received attention from various international organisations, such as the International Labour Organization, the World Bank and the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development.

During her academic career, Marta has gained a range of teaching experience. She has taught many topics relevant to sustainable development, including poverty traps and poverty alleviation, rural development, environmental wealth, governance and institutional economics, as well as statistical techniques of policy impact evaluation.

In 2017, she was nominated and longlisted for the University Awards in the category of Student Experience.

In 2021, she was nominated for both the Warwick Awards for Teaching Excellence and the Warwick Awards for Personal Tutoring Excellence.
