I am a Senior Lecturer in Economics at the University of Bristol and a Fellow of Higher Education Academy (FHEA). I am also the School Resource Director. My research interests revolve around understanding firms' pricing decisions in macroeconomic models, production networks, financial frictions, and monetary policy. I am also interested in exploring questions relevant to emerging economies. In recent years, I have been invited to give talks, presented at international conferences, invited to the IMF roundtable, written and quoted in newspapers, given policy advice to governments, and led a newly founded public policy think tank.

PhD Research: My PhD research focuses on understanding how intermediate materials prices and energy price uncertainty affects inflation dynamics in New Keynesian DSGE models. The two specific questions I studied - together with my supervisor (Engin Kara) - included understanding the `missing deflation puzzle' and `decreasing energy price pass-through to core inflation.'
