"I do not give knowledge; I only guide thought." - Mohamed Zahran
I am a Lecturer in Economics (fixed-term) at the University of Nottingham and a Visiting Lecturer at City St George’s, University of London. Previously, I served as a Teaching Associate in Economics at Queen Mary University of London.
I am a Fellow of the Higher Education Academy (FHEA, UK) and a Research Associate of the Economic Research Forum (ERF). I have held visiting research positions at the University of Texas at Dallas (USA) and the University of Victoria (Canada), and received professional training in DSGE modelling and forecasting at the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and in advanced computational methods at University of Oxford.
I hold a PhD in Economics from City, University of London (2024), and I am currently undertaking postgraduate study in Academic Practice. I teach econometrics, statistics, and macroeconomics across undergraduate and postgraduate programmes, with a focus on statistical reasoning, identification, and reproducible empirical analysis. I have supervised numerous undergraduate and master’s dissertations in applied macroeconomics and econometrics.
I serve as a referee for Bulletin of Economic Research and International Journal of Emerging Markets.
