I am a Lecturer (Assistant Professor) in the Department of Economics and Fraser of Allander Institute.   

I have a strong track record of delivering policy oriented outputs covering a wide range of topics. I am very happy to discuss possible collaborations with partners in industry and policy. My expertise span:

- Applied Bayesian Macroeconometrics
- International Macroeconomics and Finance (with a strong interest in emerging markets)
- Economic Statistics

Recent work has explored:

(1) Regional integration in the Asia Pacific and the region's possible decoupling from the US economy - forthcoming in the IMF Economic Review.

(2) The nonlinear effects of shocks to bank capital vulnerability while acting as a Consultant for the European Central Bank.

(3) Subnational socioeconomic statistics, interregional trade data collection and estimation and regional supply and use and input output tables as a Research Associate with the Economic Statistics Centre of Excellence (ESCoE) funded by the UK's Office for National Statistics.

Further information about my research can be found on my website 

I have a strong interest in developing new approaches to teaching students how to analyse economic data using appropriate software.  I teach econometrics on the:

• BA (Hons) in Economics
• MSc in Economics and Policy of Energy and Climate Change 
• Scottish Graduate Programme in Economics at the University of Edinburgh

Recently, I have been working on planning and designing group based coursework so that students can develop their data analysis and sofware skills.  I also co-developed a new module on energy finance and forecasting suitable for students with no prior knowledge of data analysis.
