Welcome to my personal website. I am a researcher working at the European Commission's Joint Research Centre in Ispra. Previously, I was a research economist at the Research Centre of the Deutsche Bundesbank, the Research Department of the European Central Bank and the Central Bank of Ireland.
My research interests are in the areas of household finance, macroecononomics, housing, inequality and resilience. Recent research and policy projects include: housing wealth across countries and the role of expectations, the impact of COVID-19 on household financial buffers, beliefs and social interactions, the future of the middle class, and the resilience of the EU and its Member States.
