Responsibility

At Brunel University of London, I contribute to the Department of Economics, Finance and Accounting through a combination of teaching, research, administration and academic leadership. I am Programme Leader for the BSc Economics and Business Finance. I design and deliver undergraduate and postgraduate modules in Macroeconomics and Econometrics, supervise PhD students as well as master’s and undergraduate dissertations, and support students as a personal tutor.

I conduct and publish research in Applied Macroeconomics, focusing on the distributional effects of policy, energy and climate shocks. I also lead collaborative projects with researchers and policy institutions, fostering research groups that address relevant and topical macroeconomic issues to advance both academic discourse and policy-making.

In addition, I serve as an external examiner for other universities and as an associate editor for economic journals.
