I am a Lecturer in Economics at the University of Essex.
My research interests include Macroeconomics, Monetary Theory, Monetary Policy, and Financial Stability. In my work, I focus on the application of models with solid microfoundations to current economic issues, and I'm particularly interested in the interaction of the real and the financial side of the economy.
I am a co-organiser of the virtual seminar series on Search and Matching in Macro and Finance (SaMMF). Check out our upcoming seminar schedule and recordings of past seminars here.
A while back, I appeared on the podcast Marginal Babble to talk about the economics of banking. You can watch the episode here.
