Welcome - Bienvenid@

I am PhD candidate at the Universitat de Barcelona - Barcelona School of Ecoomics - Section of Economic Theory. 

I am a macroeconomist specialising in economic growth and development, using both theoretical and empirical methods. My research examines how transport, demographic dynamics and financial factors influence long-term economic change. I am currently on the 2025/2026 Economics Job Market. Click here to see my JMP.

My primary research interests lie at the intersection of macroeconomic theory and structural change, with a secondary focus on empirical macroeconomics. I mainly teach courses in macroeconomics, theoretical macroeconomics, economic development and programming.
