Assistant Professor of Economics at the Athens University of Economics and Business (AUEB)

Welcome to my website!

I am an Assistant Professor in the Economics Department at the Athens University of Economics and Business (AUEB).  Also, I co-organize the research seminar series at AUEB, the Athens Winter Econ Meeting, the Joint Economic Research Seminar Series (JERS), and I am a member of the Search and Matching in Macro and Finance (SaMMF) group. Before joining AUEB, I was an Assistant Professor at the (amazing) Department of Economics at Virginia Commonwealth University from 2018 to 2023.

My research interests are in Macroeconomics, Labor Economics, Financial Economics, and Search and Matching. Take a look at my Google Scholar profile if you want to know more about my work.

I did my PhD at UCLA under the supervision of Gary Hansen and Pierre-Olivier Weill.
