I am an Economist with Bloomberg Economics in London, working on a range of international macroeconomic issues.

Prior to this, I worked at the Bank of England for nearly a decade. Most recently, I was a Research and Policy Advisor in the Bank's Monetary Policy Strategy Division, where I co-founded the Bank's Macro Technical Paper series. Previously, I worked in the Bank's International and Financial Stability Strategy and Risk Directorates in a number of role.

Alongside my work at Bloomberg, I am a Guest Lecturer at the London School of Economics, where I teach a third-year undergraduate course on International Macroeconomics (EC339). I have also recently co-authored a textbook chapter on International Macroeconomics with Giancarlo Corsetti and Luca Dedola for Macroeconomics, a comprehensive textbook for first-year Ph.D. courses in macroeconomics.

I completed my Ph.D. in Economics at the University of Cambridge.

This website is intended as a portal for dissemination of my academic research. The views expressed in my research are my own.

Research Interests: International Macroeconomics, Monetary Economics and Policy, Macro-Finance; Applied Macroeconomics.
