I worked extensively for the development and monitoring of the Central Bank of Ireland macroprudential framework for banks (capital and mortgage measures). I engaged in analysis, policy design and communication strategies by leading and coordinating regular risk assessment and quarterly capital buffers reviews and presenting relevant findings to Bank's Committes. I was Secretary of the Central Bank of Ireland's Macroprudential Policy Coordination Group which regularly discussed macroprudential policy matters and engaged with Senior Leaders on the same. I represented the Central Bank of Ireland at European level (European Central Bank and European Systemic Risk Board) as a member of the MPPG (Macroprudential Policy Group) and IWG (Instrument Working Group). 

I hold a PhD in Economics from La Sapienza University with a thesis titled "Essays on Firm Heterogeneity and Macroeconomic Policies".  My job market paper has been published in an highly-esteemed academic journal and has received media coverage. 

My research focuses on the linkages between the real and financial sector using big datasets from banks, firms and households to understand these linkages and their implications for the monetary policy transmission mechanisms and financial stability.
