I am an Assistant Professor of Economics at the University of Bern.
My position is funded by a Swiss National Science Foundation Starting Grant for the Project "Financial Stability in an Era of Digital Currencies".
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.
