Matthew is a PhD candidate in Development Studies at SOAS University of London, with a focus on Chinese contractors’ project delivery metrics and local economic linkages in Zambia. 

Matthew's research interests center on the impact of Chinese investments, aid, and infrastructure development across Africa. His work explores the dynamics between Chinese contractors and local economies in Zambia, delving into key areas such as employment generation, local procurement, and subcontracting practices.
