Hi, thanks for stopping by! I am a Lecturer at CUNEF Universidad. My research lies at the intersection of macroeconomics, household finance, and public policy, with a particular focus on how micro-level heterogeneity shapes aggregate outcomes and welfare.

Before joining CUNEF, I completed my PhD in Economics at the University of Kent, and held research and teaching positions at the University of Oxford, Liverpool and London Business School. As part of my PhD, I was a visiting researcher at UC Louvain, and I also taught macroeconomics at the LSE PhD Summer Schools.

My research examines optimal bankruptcy design, the general equilibrium implications of bank heterogeneity, and the distributional and welfare consequences of higher-education financing. Recent work has been published in the Journal of Comparative Economics and Economics Letters, and I am currently extending this agenda to the study of climate-related macroeconomic risk.
