Welcome to my webpage!

I am a Senior Advisor at the Monetary Policy Directorate of the Bank of England. Specifically, I am part of the Monetary Policy Innovation Lab, a team working closely with the Chief Economist with the aim of applying insights from the research frontier to problems faced by monetary policymakers.   

I joined the Bank in 2019 as Research Economist focussing on nowcasting and the near-term outlook, and I was a Senior Research Economist since 2022 on the Inflation Team. Previously, I worked as an Economist at the Forecasting Center of the Kiel Institute for the World Economy. I hold a PhD from Kiel University. 

My research interests are

• Macroeconomics and monetary economics

• Applied time series econometrics, machine learning and forecasting

• Business cycles and inflation dynamics 

NEW in research: working paper "Blockwise Boosted Inflation: non-linear determinants of inflation using machine learning" and book chapter on "Infusing machine learning with economically motivated structure".

Here is my CV.

Outside work, I spend much of my time with forró, a Brazilian dance and music genre.
