Senior Advisor at the Bank of England
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
Here is my CV.
Outside work, I spend much of my time with forró, a Brazilian dance and music genre.
