With over 15 years of experience as an economist, researcher, and lecturer, I have a deep understanding of the complex interactions between banking, asset pricing, monetary policy, and financial regulation - in traditional systems and in the rapidly emerging digital asset/crypto space.
As the Deputy Director of the Qatar Centre for Global Banking and Finance (QCGBF) at King's College London, I led and supported various research projects, publications, events, and collaborations. My work explores classic topics in macroeconomics and finance, but also addresses novel topics such as stablecoins, central bank digital currencies, stress testing, and climate change. I also teach and mentor students, drawing on my experience as an Economist at the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco and from lecturing at the Universities of Cambridge, Oxford, and Warwick.
I have consulted for the Bank of England on stress testing and asset pricing models, and am currently a research affiliate on the digital euro and payments at the Central Bank of Ireland. I have published multiple papers in leading academic journals (including the American Economic Review, Journal of Economic Theory, and the Journal of Monetary Economics). I am also a consultant on banking and capital markets for Chainlink Labs.
