I am a Professor of Economics and Research Director at Lancaster University, and a Founding Fellow of the Royal Economic Society.
My research focuses on macroeconomics, monetary economics and business cycle analysis with particular attention to inflation expectations, firm dynamics and structural changes.
I have published extensively in top journals, including the Journal of Monetary Economics and The Economic Journal, and have collaborated with international institutions such as the European Commission.
I am actively involved in mentoring and promoting gender diversity in economics, including through the RES Women in Economics network, and serves on several national and international boards.
