Background
My main area of research is behavioural macroeconomics, focusing on experimental methods to study the formation of expectations and beliefs among households. I examine how these beliefs respond to policy changes, including monetary, fiscal, and macroprudential policies, as well as central bank communication, and how these shifts in beliefs influence decisions related to saving, consumption, and investment.
Before joining the University of Reading in 2024, I was a lecturer in economics at the University of Essex and Middlesex University London. I also gained research associate experience at the University of Birmingham and the Chinese University of Hong Kong.
