Fabian Stephany
Economist and Data Scientist
Fabian Stephany is a Departmental Research Lecturer at the Oxford Internet Institute (OII), University of Oxford and a Senior Research Fellow with the Institute for New Economic Thinking at the Oxford Martin School. At the OII, Fabian leads the SkillScale project, which views skills as a central lens through which to understand today’s labour market transitions. By examining how work quality, job growth, and labour market equitability and sustainability respond to technological change, the project investigates how AI skills are becoming increasingly pivotal for workers and employers alike. As part of his work, Fabian is currently exploring the role of AI skills in employability—particularly how working with generative AI enhances job prospects and addresses the gender gap between men and women. His research has been published in leading academic journals, such as Research Policy and Scientific Reports, and has received media coverage in outlets around the world, including The Washington Post, The New York Times, The Telegraph, Nikkei Asia, Handelsblatt, and the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung.
