Overview

I am the Director of Undergraduate Studies of the Business School and a Reader in Economics.

I am an applied macroeconomist. My research focuses on the application of dynamic stochastic general equilibrium (DSGE) models to policy questions.

I teach Year 2 Introductory Econometrics, and supervise both MSc dissertations and PhD theses.

I previously held the position of the Academic Lead for International Exchange (Program Director), and chaired the Exchange Student Examination Board and co-chaired the Intercalary Year Examination Board between 2019 and 2022.

I also serve as an External Examiner for the Imperial College.
