I am a Senior Economist at the Bank for International Settlements.  Previously, I worked at the Bank of England since finishing my PhD (2013) at the University of Cambridge. As for my hobbies, I enjoy playing the piano and am an International Chess Master.

I directed the macro-finance research workshop at the BoE (2023 edition; 2022 edition; 2021 edition; 2019 edition; 2018 edition2017 edition).
