I am a principal economist at the Research center (CEFER) at the Bank of Lithuania and a junior research fellow at Vilnius University. 

I completed my PhD at University of Amsterdam. 

My research focuses on the fields of macrofinance and -- more recently -- real estate economics. I study the macroeconomic consequences of private debt and borrower protection. In addition, I am interested in how micro-level data on borrowers and banks can change the way we think about credit markets.
